I had a STAR:: and NOVA:: account a LONG time ago because I was Regional 
Software Field Support (Mid-Atlantic Region) for Rdb and other 
Transaction Processing products which some how or another included field 
support for languages. Most interesting language problem was a FORTRAN 
compiler error that resulted in a -0.  (And the FAA, trying to calculate 
effects of ice on air foil, were not very amused (circa 1992-1993ish?).

I would have to say that after losing my latest position as Strategy DBA 
(basically 4th tier support) at Sprint that traveling to the NE is 
probably out of the question at this time...
