Actually, they refer to themselves as "SprintLink." ;-) In all reality, I'm leaving Computer Sciences Corporation for a consulting position with Mindbank Consulting Group, based in the Washington, DC area. While CSC has kept me travelling five days a week (mostly in New Yawk City), I welcome the opportunity to stay closer to home for a change. (My wife is certainly happier.) If you turn to page 339 of "The Whole Internet User's Guide & Catalog (by Ed Krol, copyright 1992, O'Reilly & Associates ), in the middle of the page you'll see the name of gentleman for whom I'll be working. I remain distanced from the controversy surrounding the Sprint/Congressional-hearing debate, because I do not work there yet. As far as their reliabilty, I certainly hope to contribute to the future of Sprint's connectivity reputation; hopefully that will be a good thing. Wish me luck, chum.
