They won't need so many sys admins anymore
Nice eye catching title huh 
I got laid off along with 55000 others from HP worldwide have been expecting this for some time and now it's finally my turn. Most of the folks I know get laid off at around this age of 40+ so do take note.
Ideas that ran thru my head this last few weeks: bitcoin farming, it security, audit/compliance, drive a taxi.
Anybody with 5 minutes to spare got any good ideas?
