Are any of you people with DOD, Ada, C, embedded systems experience, etc., interested in contract work in Minnesota? If so, let me know and I'll put you in touch with a headhunter who found me via my web home page. He claims to have several positions for someone like myself. Problem is, for me it is NOT an option to be in Minnesota full time for 6 months. I have too many things going on right here in Colorado. Also, if you are genuinely interested, I can at least get a "referral bonus" for putting you in touch with him. sro S.
