And what was I doing with this world-class equipment? I was sorting 5,000 entries in New Zealand Who's Who into alphabetical order. Had to create a whole bunch of small files and copy and paste endlessly.... And they were paying me $12.50 an hour, presumably because of my master's degree. Lots of you guys have had worse jobs but that was my low point. ___________
