To the hundreds who took the time and trouble to point this out, yes.
The survey shows that 75% of managers think they are above the 90th

\begin{center}{\Large \bf Simon Fraser Centre for Experimental and
Constructive Mathematics} \end{center}

This Centre
is intended to further research and graduate education in Computation in
the Mathematical Sciences. The Centre aims to provide a sophisticated
environment for Mathematical research on topics that require a substantial
mix of computation, experimentation and mathematics. Of interest are questions
on how one uses the computer: To build intuition?  To generate hypotheses?
To validate conjectures or prove theorems? To discover nontrivial examples
and counter-examples?

The Centre will commence full operation July 1, 1993 at Simon Fraser
University
in Burnaby, British Columbia. Activities will include the following.


(i)  Provision for and sponsorship of Post-Doctoral Fellowships in areas
related to Experimental and Constructive Mathematics.

(ii)  Sponsorship of regular short-term and longer-term research visitors
to the Centre.

(iii) Organization of regular Colloquia and occasional Conferences on
advances in Experimental and Constructive  Mathematics.

(iv) Participation in the training of graduate students in Experimental and
Constructive  Mathematics.

(v) Establishment, development and maintenance of accessible software
archives.

(vi) Collaboration with similar centres and appropriate individuals at
other Canadian and foreign Universities and Institutes.

The initial steering committee consists of J. Borwein (Director), P.
Borwein and R. Russell. Enquiries can be directed to jborwein@math.sfu.ca.


The Centre  is soliciting applications for {\bf two Post-Doctoral Fellows}
commencing after July 1, 1993, in any areas compatible with the interests
of the centre.  The stipend will be set on the NSERC PDF scale.  These are
primarily research positions though some teaching may be involved.


The Centre is soliciting applications for the position of
 {\bf Computer System Administrator} commencing April 1, 1993.  Salary
range is \$42,846-\$54,955. This person will be responsible for the
installation and operation of the CECM computing facility and will be expected 
to provide technical leadership for this and related projects.  A post graduate degree in Computing Science or Electrical/Electronic Engineering and five years
experience (or an equivalent combination of experience and training)
are required.

Applicants should send a curriculum vitae and arrange
for three letters of reference to be sent directly to Dr. J.M. Borwein,
Department of Combinatorics and Optimization,University of Waterloo, N2L

re:
A friend of mine is looking for a macintosh programmer
for a 50 day contract in Montreal. (ie: job was due yesterday)
Programmer must be "fluent" in following subjects:

   OOP (Object Oriented Programming)
   System 7
   Think C 5.0


For future reference: If your friend should require Mac programmers
at some later point, could you please ask him to specify if
the requirements posted are strict or guidelines.

(This is a minor point, so I didn't think that calling him in
 Montreal would be appropriate.)

I only mention it because of a rejected bid that specified
System 6.0.5  and did not feel that the version I was running
(6.0.7) matched.  <grin!>
When I had a chance meeting with what turned out to be the chief
technical person for that project he was aghast, and indicated that
he didn't care if I was running 6.0.7 or 1.0, just so long
as I could deliver.  He said something about that being the
last time he let non-technical people filter out bids.

I have a 89 Chevy S-10 Blazer that's due for its 60k mile maintenance.
I'm sort of new in town and don't really know where to take it.
Somehwere in the Decatur/Clarkston area would be nice, but I'd rather be
sure I'm getting good service.  Doesn't have to be a dealership - I
prefer to deal with private mechanics most the time anyway.

Anybody got any suggestions?


Thanks,

DO NOT BUY A SUPRA!!!  I cannot overstate my dislike for this company.
Have you guessed by now that I'm using a Supra modem?!  The company itself
has an amazing disregard for the customer service angle.  Just yesterday
I called them up, and after about 30 minutes of listening to piped radio,
I actually got to speak with a human.  ... and, he was of no help.  I mean,
this was to their SALES line.  Go figure...

approx. 12 newsgroups which GSU does not subscribe too.  I currently have an
ATI 2400 v.42bis modem, but I'm planning to upgrade to a 14.4 V.42bis at

student who can't afford their fees just to get a dozen or so newsgroups.
I also know there's a Waffle BBS around called Williard???, but all my mail
there gets bounched back.  I also know there's an Atlanta Unix users meeting
where I should come and ask this, but I have classes until 9:00 on Mondays.
Oh yeah, all I want is a feed.  I won't need the ability to post.  Also, if
