A suit and tie may be the norm for Wall Street, but would be rather useless and expensive in CS land.I must say that the American dress sense at work seems a tad more relaxed that the ridgedly enforced dress code that i have uncounted in my rare forays into office blocks, all the lemmings dressed the same, all in dark suits, a vision for this tradesman, of hell on earth. I do envy your rather laid back attitude.
