[Friday] TV Commercial 2

[Four years later, Jim is now the Struts team lead in a
corporate IT shop. If you haven't heard of this one, continue. I will
try to make it flawless ... although it is still a pre-release.]

The dot com bubbles were easy-come-easy-go. There are only
two teams left in the IT shop, Jim's Struts team and .NET team.
When both teams were scheduling their training in another city
for new projects, they were told from the boss of bosses that
whoever reduces IT costs more will be the winner.

The .NET team booked their airline tickets to the city before they
heard of a super discount train ticket that Jim's team was considering.
The .NET team canceled their airline tickets and arrived at the
train station earlier.

When they saw Jim on the train, they started to laugh at the Struts
team. Because Jim got only one ticket for his whole team.

"The conductor is coming!" One of the Struts team members
looked out of the window and said. Jim's team went into one 
of the rest rooms in the train. The conductor got on the train.
When he passed by the rest room, he knocked on the door.

"Ticket please?"

A ticket was slid out under the door. The .NET team looked
very serious after both teams arrived at the city. When they finished
the training, the .NET team got only one ticket to back. But they
started to laugh at the Struts team again when they saw Jim 
on the train.

Jim's team had no ticket at all. This time, one of the Struts team
members looked out of the window and said
"The conductor is coming!" Jim's team went into one of the rest
rooms in the train. The .NET team went into the other rest room.
Before the conductor got on the train, Jim quietly walked out 
the rest room and knocked on the door of the other rest room.

"Ticket please?"

[After Jim came back, he saw the .NET team is releasing its own MVC
 model and is using a desktop IDE claimed richer in functionality. But
 he knows they are busily and expertly missing the point again.

 Because Jim is playing the Internet IDE and considering to empower
 every employee to build SLWS (Super Large Web Services). If you 
 are in Jim's position, take a look at the 24 tips on Wheels and Struts.]
