Message-ID: <219@vsserv.scri.fsu.edu> Date: 27 Sep 89 22:00:41 GMT Sender: news@vsserv.scri.fsu.edu Reply-To: nall@loligo.cc.fsu.edu (John Nall) Distribution: usa Organization: Florida State University Lines: 22 (Disclaimer: This sounds like a joke. Please be assured that it is not). We are an organization that has only recently moved to Unix. Due to events beyond our control (i.e., the decision by Control Data to dissolve ETA Systems) we are quickly having to acquire local Unix expertise. I am charged with hiring a few "Unix wizards". But I don't know how in the $%%#^% to tell one, since there is no one locally who qualifies, and God knows that I don't! I suppose I could ask all the questions that are in the "list of frequently asked Unix questions" and if they flunked THAT, then they don't qualify. Any suggestions? Please e-mail, and I promise not to summarize (although it might be entertaining for this group). ====================================================================== John Nall Internet: nall@nu.cs.fsu.edu Computer Science Department Florida State University "Today, a Moon Moth -- tomorrow, a Sea Dragon Conquerer!!"
