HP to cut 25-30k jobs

What was IBMs service offering? I'm not very familiar with the industry. The joke is, my father "gets paid to drive" because he's always in his car. Probably... 65% of the time he's in his car, 30% onsite, and 5% at the home office.

Can't offshore that, or can you?

They really, really try. Back when I was an AS400 jockey they started the transition. It went from having a guy on-site whenever we needed anything to having someone on the phone walking someone (usually someone unsuited for the task) through a debugging process.
