Well, I can officially stop complaining. I've just scored a software
engineering position with a local natural gas production company. This will
have three effects with respect to the ClassicCmp list:
* I will no longer gripe about lack of funds in nearly every post. :-)
* My collection will experience growth and an increase in quality, which
hopefully will enable me to do things like software and documentation
archiving, hardware testing and restoration, and of course, playing with
shiny new toys.
* You should see me start to offer free stuff to list members soon.
Yes, today is a good day.

Of course, you need someone reliable and discreet to pre-qualify all the
Free Stuff... just forward me a list via private e-mail and I'll handle
everything for you. I know you'll be quite preoccupied with the New Job
and all, and since I'm a self-employed Occasional Consultant, my time is
my own, so it's not *that* big of a bother.
Yes, today is a good day.
Sure is. Now, about all that Free Stuff...
Cheers
John

Whoever said money can't buy you happiness was probably poor.

I have a saying, though I'm sure someone already thought of it:
"Money can't buy you everything, but it can come pretty damn close."

Congratulations! ...and just in time for the Holidays. Relax, and enjoy them
now.
I'm on the hunt as well. I live in Seattle, and I would assume that about
the only place worse than Seattle to be an unemployed IT person is Silicon
Valley.

time. :-)
