There was absolutely nothing in the job description that indicated a need for PHD level Physics knowledge! Sounds like the job description has been wired to a specific person. -- "What is another word | Dave Lowrey | [The opinions expressed MAY be for 'Thesaurus'?" | Amdahl Corp. | those of the author and are not | Houston, Texas | necessarily those of his Steven Wright | amdahl!dwl10 | employer] (`nuff said!)
