Piping up so those like myself might be heard.. I find white on black easier on the eyes. while admiring his dark desktop theme I agree with the enlarging the type comment, however.

As for your post, I will point out that there are save one or two brilliant individuals at the F500 companies here in my midsized city (comparable to the guys (and girls) that frequent here). I've been trying to bring my skillset up to a comfortable level to work with these guys (or someone else at their level) for a while now. It's been slow and steady, and sometimes, I even have my doubts if I can (the maths are not a strong suit of mine).

Anyways, I do think there are some great challenges at Fortune 500 companies having worked at a few myself. Do they carry monetary rewards at the level of work that these individuals work at? I don't think so but the rewards seem to come from hands on experience received in using high-end datacenter hardware and working on large scale projects.
