Well Forest, the best way would be to improve your HR dept to be more responsive to job inquiries, specifically after one has gone to the trouble of filling out the on-line form and submitting. Waiting weeks before getting even some notification of receipt, let alone review, is BS.
On a more general note: I remember back when I visited you that I mentioned how nice it would be for if LS had a little display area for its products, maybe including some 'touchy-feely', play-with-the-gear demos and such. You confirmed what I saw 1st hand: that the company was not really oriented to walk-in's beyond the polite attention of the receptionist. LS competes w/a s--t-load of others in your domain. Now I realize that LS is prob in the 'e-commerce' business http://www.logicsupply.com/products/gs_l08?nw=newsletter&ty=1 Logic Supply has unveiled what it's calling the world's first case for Via's tiny, Linux-compatible pico-ITX motherboard. The fanless Serener GS-L08 is equipped with a 2.5-inch hard drive bay and a heat pipe, yet measures only 5.8 x 2.0 x 4.3 inches. But there is, I suspect, a fair amount of local biz to be had if the company was a little more 'user friendly'. It sure would be nice to visit LS and have a chance to kick the Serener GS-L08 tires and ride it around the block:) But if I can't, then what is my impetus to buy your box locally AOT just going online and getting something from: http://www.linutop.com/ http://www.handtops.com/ http://www.umpcportal.com http://www.dualcor.com http://www.oqo.com/ or a "Damn Small Machine" (DSM) is powered by an 800MHz Via Eden processor from http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/store/Mini_ITX_Systems Why not go directly to an overseas manufacturer? http://www.picopc.co.uk/ http://sttech.co.uk/ or a VIA nanobook from Taiwan (http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS6873084010.html) or a eBox-4300, based on a 300MHz Vortex86SX SoC from Taiwan-based DMP Microelectronics or s sub-$100 linux thin client (http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS5563564014.html) Bangkok-based Norhtec has unveiled a sub-$85 mini-PC claimed to be the most affordable Linux thin client system to date. The "ultra-low-power" MicroClient JrSX is based on a 300MHz x86-compatible SoC (system-on-chip) and includes both CompactFlash and 2.5-inch hard drive storage options, along with 10/100Mbps Ethernet networking. Or any of a dozen other companies? just my .02 Rion > Thanks, > Forest
