Hi Rhett,

Sounding in!  My own history in the tech sector dates back about 15 years, 
when I was studio lab manager at the University of California Davis.  Since 
that time, I've worked as an IT help desk rep, UNIX Administrator, audio 
drivers developer, web developer, applications engineer, technical team 
lead, VST Plugins developer.  With the exception of three of those 15 
years, my work has always been associated with audio in some fashion.  For 
two of those years, I had the option of telecommuting part time.  Like 
Richard Zvonar, these slow economic times have forced me to start looking 
for work outside the tech sector.  Plumbing looks kind of fun...
