How true, how true. Perhaps common knowledge among Japanese, but this is
foreign to us. Is this Matsushita only, or other large Japanese companies
too? I find Japanese people around me always applying this method. Just
before my deadline, they shut down the computer with all the disk space and
they move it. When I figure out why I get so many NFS errors, they say
to me "ah- gomen nasai" but it doesn't boot back up and I'm here all night
to make the deadline.
And now for my contribution:
"Working In Japan" by ASME (Associated Students[?] of Mechanical
Engineering)
lists various people's experiences; there's an especially informative
one on "How to get a job in a Japanese University". Great book;
informally written.
