Man, job boards and Monster listings are the LAST place you'll ever find a job.
I've learned a lot from reading the daily emails from AskTheHeadhunter... sign up on techrepublic.com.
Cultivating contacts is the key. The last three jobs I've had were as a result of an inside contact. My most recent one was a job post on the internet (so, it's still useful) but the initial contact was made via the inside contact.
(2) "I can't believe Macs still have only a one-button mouse. What a bunch of morons. When will they get with the program?"
Actually, I have a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer connected to my Sawtooth G4. While the left and right buttons, and the scroll wheel work, support for the back and forward buttons on the mouse are no where to be found. As well, pushing down on the scroll wheel does not have any effect.
I've owned my G4 for about 2 years now. By day, I'm a windows programming lacky. But, thanks to OS X, by night I'm turning slowly into a Unix ninja. I love having a shell whenever I need it. I'm learning C on my box. I've used Apple's free project builder for a few chapters of a Java tutorial. I'm running mySQL. I'm running Apache, and serving from my Mac box 24/7. I'm also running PHP for the odd server side script... and I hope this only goes on and on.
I love that Apple has really opened up the Unix world to me in a painless way. A few years back, I honestly tried to build a Linux box from some old 486 componentry. No dice. Couldn't get the drivers to work with my hodge-podge of hardware.
The beauty of the Apple OS X experience is not having to worry about configuration, etc., and getting a secure, locked-down install of Unix that the newbie need not worry about, but is free to exploit as his knowledge grows.
Thanks to Steve, I may just have a C++ job at EA one day...

Apple needs to fix this!
They'll do anything to market a better computer!
