[CLUE-Tech] RE: responses for Dec Alpha computer boxes.

[Mike Staver]

Sean, sorry to hear about your job loss.  I am thanking my lucky stars
that I still have mine, but I fear that as the ecomy stays the way it
is, that won't be the case in the near future.  It sucks when you want
to buy a house, and don't because you don't know what your financial
status will be in a month from now.  So, I'm trying to prepare myself
for seems certain.  Is there any advice any of you can give me on how to
cope with looking for a new job in Denver?  I've only lived here for
about 1.5 years now, so I still don't have a real good feeling for the
job market here.  I'm not sure what companies are good to work for,
which allow freedom (such as using linux rather than windoze), and stuff
like that.  Sorry if this is off topic, I'm just curious how many of you
are thinking the same thing I am right now.
