Well, there you go. I guess I haven't revisited the PDF situation lately. That's good to know. The chequered history dates back about 20 years. In chronological order: Musicomp - my own first company which was an online BBS for musicians - I failed miserably! Honeywell Supply and Services Canada - Pension, Family bonus, etc. Customs and Excise Canada (now consolidated with Taxation under a different name) - awesome background check, fingerprinting, briefing and debriefing was the coolest part ;) Rio Algom - mining company. That was different and interesting xxxx (University) - doing admin systems xxxx (Imaging Company) - microfiche, laser printing, doc imaging, data warehousing, etc. for large corporations. Large scale with MICR cheque codes, printed codes for machine sorting into envelopes, etc. xxxx (ERP Software Company) - one of the main well-known world-wide mid-range offerings I'm not even sure why but I'm kind of paranoid about putting too much recently about myself on the web hence the xxxx. Even though it might look like it, I've never been fired! Butted heads quite a bit with two managers over the years though. Rio Algom shutdown their entire Elliot Lake operation so all of us were gone. I was let go once when they consolidated to another country and I did not want to move to another position in another country. For the past 10+ years I've also worked with and without partners in our own companies. Some of that time I was also employed by some of the companies on the list. Guess I have too much time on my hands if I'm typing all this. I better do some more Multilanguage scripts!
