  6. Recruitment agencies asking for resume in word format.

    The possibility of a recruiter modifying my resume without my knowledge in some weird fashion or without prior agreement with me hadn't occurred to me, thus pdf vs doc was the least of my worries. I don't see what the purpose of this might be.

The defacto desktop standard in the industry is MS based OSs. You can choose to run MacOS for your own enjoyment if you wish but you won't be coming...
  13. Wow! A lot of new laptops have come out!

    You also had voodoopc back then but I think HP bought those as well. Are there any reputable privately owned custom made ones these days like Alienware and voodoopc used to be?

  16. Use headhunders vs. apply by ourselves?
