FYI - New England Job Postings

[Greg Kushmerek <gkushmer -at- JADE -dot- TUFTS -dot- EDU>]

Last night I attended the Boston Chapter's September STC meeting.  After
listening to a Microsoft sales rep give a lot of garbage on a product
(and dodge tough questions), I picked up the current job listings
dated 9/9/93.

I won't type in EVERYTHING that it says (since I'm typing with one
hand while I eat lunch with the other), but I'll list the Job Title,
Location, and something else I pull from the abstract.  This isn't
going to be the listing as it appears verbatim.  It should be close
enough.

Note:  Please mention the STC Employment Service if you respond to any
       of these.

Here goes:
