Glad it worked out for you, Fargon.

I fell into a similar situaton a few years ago. My then employer was 'downsizing' and to evade the various legalities decided to make us all redundant and then re-apply for our own jobs back. The 'new' jobs requiered a uni degree in computing, and so I was disqualified despite being the senior programmer and the only one to have produced revenue-earning software. MY crime? I entered the computing industry too early, before they even had degrees in computing.
