Walden,

Man you nailed it there with the Dice reference ! Using any of their web
based stuff is tricky.

A way around that is to use Google and specify the search criteria and the
site:dice.com for example and it will search for you.

I use that for our local paper, The Indianapolis Star (indystar.com). If you
use their search stuff over 30 days they charge for. Somehow Google gets you
around that :-)

Beautiful...in the midst of the pedantic semantics, Gmail puts this ad
up when I was reading the message:

Tech Software
Synon (AllFusion:2E) consultants for over a decade.
www.techsoftinc.com

Timing couldn't be better...Google is your friend!

Click on it? You could have made us spend $0.20 :) Seriously though,
that actually brings up a major problem w/the naming issue. Why did we
put "Synon" in that ad? Simple, most people call it Synon. Trevor has a
point (not withstanding my pedantic semantics) that the system is now
called a System i, or i5 depending on brand or product. However, when
you're looking at it from a marketing point of view, what are you going
to call it? Search engines are _very_ important these days, and I'm
quite sure that Google doesn't know I mean "i5" when I search for
"AS/400" so we have to have both keywords on our ads and site. It's fine
to say it's a i5, but the problem is many people call it an AS/400 and
therefore many more are forced to do so.

Want another example? Go to Dice and search for AS400 jobs... now
iSeries... now i5... now "System i" and check the result counts.
