PS to Peter Leftwich's observation. The FreeBSD and generic BSD job
   availabilties on the national boards have been decreasing or flat
   for several months.

   I started collecting the numbers for dice, hotjob, and monster for
   almost every weekday since March to quantify the trends. I wish I had
   started spring 2001 to show the logrithmic decrease in jobs (halving
   about every 6 weeks).

   You do not have to be an old-timer to remember when freebsd-jobs was
   exclusively job offers. Then it became a flood of "looking for work",
   just before the stock market tanked (for the first time). now it is dead.

   Our sector will take a while to recover. Use the national boards as a
   tool, but also use your network of contacts.
