My company is currently hiring programmers, but I don't think we have any need for a dedicated tech writer. Cellular South is hiring; it's possible they might need a tech writer. And there's a company in Hattiesburg that's doing a lot of tech hiring lately, but again, I don't know if they'd need a writer. There's also the Waterways Experiment Station in Vicksburg, which would be much closer to Monroe than Jackson. Being a research facility they just might be interested in a tech writer. Beyond that I don't have too many ideas. I'll ask around at work and see if the sales guys (who have a lot of contacts in the industry) might know of something. Nothing concrete, but a couple of suggestions anyway. Hope this helps, and I'll post back if he comes back with anything more. -- Steve [link\|http://www.ubuntulinux.org\|Ubuntu]

But you might want to warn your friend that Monroe is about the smelliest town in the South. It's got a paper mill, and the stench from that place could knock a buzzard off a gut wagon from ten miles away. He's definitely a southern boy :) -- Steve [link\|http://www.ubuntulinux.org\|Ubuntu]

When my wife went down to Monroe for her job interview she said she didn't smell anything particularly untoward. I suppose the trick is to live upwind. :) "We are all born originals -- why is it so many of us die copies?" - Edward Young
