    As a few of you know, I had been interviewing at a few companies outside of LA, because I'm tired of living here. On Friday, I accepted an offer from VMware[^]! :-D They're in Palo Alto[^] so I'll be moving up there and getting settled in before I officially start working there next month. The best part - they use WTL for their Win32 apps. :cool:

    congrats on the new job and good luck for the move. We use VMware where I work - great product. Palo Alto is north of LA, yes ? - quite a lot of technology up there - Tibco from what I remember are there as well (we use them, too) ...anyway, as I said good luck (moving can be stressful), but the scenery/life hopefully will be better 'g'

                H Mike. Congratuations with your new job at VMware and the opportunity to move to Sillicon Valley :) BY CAR, BY PLANE, THEY COME. They just show up. They've given up their lives elsewhere to come here. They come for the tremendous opportunity, believing that in no other place in the world right now can one person accomplish so much with talent, initiatie, and a good idea. it's a region where you know and how much money you have have never been less relevant to success. THE Newcomers (The Nudist on the late shift , And other tales of Silicon Valley) Go for it!

                With friendly greetings,:) Eric Goedhart Interbritt

                        And the Player is also free. I do not understand why not the Workstation? Any features not available in the other two?

                                  My mom lives there, and I spent 8 or so years there (ages 16-24) before moving to San Diego. I hate the place. :) Congested, snooty people, and expensive. The only things I like about it is are the foothill parks and the bike lanes. Well, next time we're visiting my mom, I'll send you an email and see if you want to get together for an overpriced latte at a neo-retro-modern coffee house overlooking the erudites migrating between Stanford and their upscale million dollar shantees. :) Marc

On Friday, I accepted an offer from VMware[^]! :-D They're in Palo Alto[^] so I'll be moving up there and getting settled in before I officially start working there next month. The best part - they use WTL for their Win32 apps. :cool:

                                        As a few of you know, I had been interviewing at a few companies outside of LA, because I'm tired of living here.

                                          Everyone else is getting their emails, the problem is therefore at your end. Contact Chris directly if you think you've done all you can to solve it. Posting at random on the lounge is hardly a useful approach to solving your problem.
