Permanent jobs were just about all in London or on such a salary that I would have been hard pushed to afford the trailer park option. The cost of living in the Netherlands compared to the UK was such that I could afford to take the permanent job, which lasted 18 months before I got so bored and had to move on, the last job I had are also getting rid of their iSeries, mainly because the parent company in the US has an Oracle based system. Why they are changing here is a mystery, all the people on the shop floor here like the green screen option, they are just keying in a few numbers, or using handheld scanners, and a few still have dumb terminals so they could still work the 3 times the network went down in the 6 months I have been here. I am told the only outage they have had with the iSeries over the past 15 years was once during a powercut. Still the bloke in charge wants it so he knows best, right?
