Re >> "I think much of that really depends on what kind of company/department you worked for" Reminds me of: "I update bank software for the millennium switch. You see, when the original programmers wrote the code, they used 2 digits instead of 4 to save space. So I go through thousands of lines of code... you know what, I hate my job, I don't want to talk about it." ~ Peter Gibbons I wasn't programming in the workplace 20-30 years ago, but I believe you're right when you say: Depends on the company/department.
