===================================

I'm delighted to learn that the Clinton administration believes in
artificial intelligence as represented by the Resumix(tm) product.
Perhaps their good example will encourage increased R&D investment in
this critical technology for American global competitiveness and help
to bring to an end the "AI Winter" that has been raging for several
years now in the industry.

Mr. Lin:

Because many of us job seekers will increasingly find our lives,
careers, and families directly affected by your product, I invite you
now to show us all how well it works.  Here is one of my old resume's.
You may post to this Usenet discussion group the raw results of
processing it with your Resumix(tm) system, so that we can judge their
completeness and accuracy.
