New question: How about Truth in Advertising? I have been known to write things
like "Native in DOS and Windows; at home in the Mac environment; can get by in
Unix" [this was before I went to RPI and hadda live in X-Windows for 2 years]
or "Varying levels of competency in C, BASIC, ForTran, Pascal, and the assembly
language of the 80X86 microprocessors" in my resume. What say you hiring types?
