Personally, one of the things I look for most in a provider is someone who's bright and interesting to talk with. Not that that's how I want to spend the whole session, understand..... But it just makes everything else we do together that much better.

As for working at IBM, I have a feeling that holding down a regular job like that is just what a lot of intelligent people would NOT like to do.

Not that I know anything about being intelligent.....

Might be fun to have a date in the library.
