Or in-other-words, if you end up working for Unisys in future, it's
because you weren't good enough to avoid it.  People will bear this in
mind when it comes to employing people who have worked for Unisys, and
therefore no one even intelligent will work for them.  Therefore
Unisys will collapse slightly sooner than otherwise.  Great is all I
can say.
