RE: job offer from SAUDI ARABIA

Ross,

How about that place from Survivor I, Tigua Pulau (spelling?). We could organize an invading army of DBA's and take over. We'll have to work out the logistics of getting our non-amphibious SUV's over there, but once there, there shouldn't be too much resistance.

By the way, I mentioned no lawyers, televisions, user community, or developers, but forgot one thing - PC's running Windows! The frustration could cause disruption in our Utopian society...
