An outfit in Mountain View.  My previous company laid me off back in

Sure, can do.  My work phone is my-April-2006-direct-work-number and my home phone is still
our-San-Jose-phone-number and voicemail at my-Oakland-voicemail-number.  (I need to get a cell phone at

Valley Linux Users Group meeting on Sept 6.  (BTW, we use primarily Solaris at
my work.  Which is interesting.)
