    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:

      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

              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.

                Yeah, I need to change my profile. ;) I got tired of the crowds. I'm not tired of the weather, that's why I'm staying on the west coast.

                            Congratulations! I'm envious actually! Traveled there when I was visiting Cali last year, love the bay area in general. Not that there is anything wrong with Canada but I would love to end up in Cali (especially San Jose.... love that place) one day.

                              Great. Get them to create an emulator to allow Mac OS in VMWare on a windows machine.

                                I asked them about that, and they said OSX relies on proprietary extensions to the Intel hardware. VMware would have to reverse-engineer the extensions to make OSX run in their VM.
