9/25    Salary question:  I'm applying for a job as Tech Support Tier 1 and
        2 for a small company (three tech support staff).  What's a reasonable
        salary?
        \_ In the Bay Area? How many years of experience do you have?
           I would say about $70k/yr from what you have said so far.
        \_ my answer: it totally depends.  I work for a non-profit, and make
           around $30k/yr.  I also tend to like my job, the work environment,
           etc.  If the company actually has money, though, I'd guess between
           50-70k with at least a few years experience.
        \_ Not sure where you work, but I'm seeing more $40k-$60k. The $60k
           range is more for crossing over to Sys Admin range. Entry level
           Sys Admin (Windows world) is $60k and then up to $85k-$95k.

9/25    Why is the motd frozen in time?  Just let it go.  Stop restoring
        whatever the hell you're trying to save and let the motd go on.

9/25    Are there any free sites where I can find out the relationship
        between X gas brand and the company that produces it? For example,
        what company is behind "USA Gas"? I'd imagine I could track this down
        through, say, http://hoovers.com, but I'd rather not subscribe just for this.
        Thanks for any advice.

9/24    Soda Mark V needs to find a new home; specifically anywhere but in the
        \_ If nobody has mailed you to claim it yet, just hit the
           drives with a hammer and leave it in the hallway.
        \_ Nail it to the ceiling and forget about it.
        \_ Drop it off of Evans.
        \_ The Berkeley public schools always need computers for programming
           and typing labs.  Getting anyone to take responsibility for it would
           be tough though.
        \_ What are its specs?  http://otxwest.org might take it.
