I hear you.  I am having a hard time finding right candidates through
monster, but when I was searching as a candidate, the site worked well
for me too.

Oh, thank you.  I think I have to be in the field to help my candidates,
right?  I don't like to make empty promises with my candidates, so I
have to know what they are talking about.  Without the mutual

Venus...'

I spent a few hours on the weekend in a local library.  I am still at an
intro level, but I am learning it slowly!  Dual-boot?  Not a bad idea!
