#6 Kim Scheinberg (on Apple's switch to Intel): The year is 2000. My husband (JK) has been working at Apple for 13 years. Our son is a year old, and we want to move back to the East Coast to live near our parents. To do this, my husband will need to be granted permission to telecommute. This means he can't be working on a team project and needs to find something independent to do.

#5 Robert Bowdidge: I couldn't tell my wife anything; she knew I was working in a different building across the street and pulling very late nights, but she didn't know what I was doing.  When I had to travel to Manchester UK to work with more of the Transitive folks, she asked to come along.  I had to say "no way" - she worked for IBM at the time, and I knew that the project lead would freak at the thought of our chip vendor learning about the move.
