My boss and I looked out and saw that there were no engineer jobs
available in town; LM Ericsson had just closed their US Internet
group and put 300 Internet engineers on the street. So he asked if I

    Hey - Nordic - a different way of thinking. Don't be a bigot now  :-)

 Hey, Nordic Semiconductor does fine work -- but they're Norwegians, not
Swedes.

   FYI ... Norway, Sweden, Finland and often Denmark are
   generically referred to as "The Nordics". There is
   enough shared culture & history to kinda make them a
   distinctive cultural group.
   As for the BUSINESS SENSIBILITY of Ericsson, well ...
