I think that its discouraged in the rules for this forum, but I
don't think it should really be a problem if the companies were
to contact people directly...at least, I don't have a problem
with that. I don't know if anyone else subscribed to this forum
has problems with that...but I'm always interested in job offers.
(There don't seem to be very many companies in the Portland, Or
area that advertise Palm programming positions)
Perhaps there should be a Palm economy forum of some sort? That
way, people who aren't interested in job offers can just not
subscribe to it. It could also be a good place for general non-
programming Palm questions as well.

Thanks, and sorry for the off-topic posting.
