[ale] interesting salary data posted by Red Hat

[Jim Kinney]

Must have been phone support for windows home users.

When I was first tier HPUX/Solaris support at HP in 2001 we got around
$28/hr (which was _really_ good for the several bozos in the team who didn't
know how to change a password much less build and mount a raid array). Night
shift got a bit more. That sucked for first shift who had to clean up after
3rd shift screw-ups.
