As you know I have been lurking on this list for some time. We have been regular visitors to AZ for the last 10 years, we have some relatives here, and we own land up in Strawberry (for eventual retirement). We thought that the company I work for - Compuware, would transfer me to Phoenix when we wanted to come (Sep 2006), but it does not look very good. So it may be that we will need to find jobs the "old fashioned way". Does anyone know of any good head hunters? There are good ones and ones not so good you know. Also, to keep our options open, are there consulting companies that you know are hiring such as us. We are coming for a mini vacation the first full week of March, and maybe we could meet them then. I have been in the IT business for almost 30 years, and I would categorize myself as being very knowledgeable in SCM and in unix with a lot of good perl and ksh experience. My wife, Ellen, is very good at AS400 system admin, and JD Edwards. Sorry for the Off-topic, but I figured y'all would know.
