stone@kvue.UUCP (Anthony Stone) (12/16/85)
I've enjoyed working in broadcast engineering for the past seven years, but
during that time my interest and experience in computing has grown to the point
where I'm ready to work for a company that generates more than radio waves.
Specifically, I would like apply my Unix and video experience for a company
involved in computer graphics or who needs a system administrator/programmer.
And I'd like to do this in Europe, where, after my extensive solo travels, I
feel very much at home. This resume is also available in German or French.
