To whom it may concern:
I am a 1990 Carleton grad who works for a Chicago-based computer game
company. We need to hire a programmer for a very promising full-time
position. Some details are provided below, though others need to remain
undisclosed until we can screen applicants. Please post it wherever
ppropriate, or forward it to interested parties. Thank you.

************* DREAM JOB! *******************
We are a Chicago-based company who make some of the most advanced and
successful computer games sold. We need a serious, very talented programmer
to work with our crew in bringing Macintosh code to the IBM. It is a
full-time position, with interviewing to begin in December, 1994.
To qualify, you must be an exceptional DOS programmer with several years of
experience, and also have familiarity with Macintosh programming, graphics
and computer gaming in general.
You must also have the ability to work with a team, make steady progress and
meet deadlines. This position offers excellent benefits and opportunities.
If you give us all of your creativity, energy and sweat, we will give you a
strong start in one of the best careers there is.
For more information, call Doug at:

Or send a cover letter and resume to:
Doug Zartman
1935 S. Halsted St., Suite 204

==============================================================================
I don't know for certain, but given the address the mail came from, it looks
like Bungie may be looking for DOS programmers to Marathon over to PC. It's
somewhat understandable given PCs hold 90% or so of the home computer market,
but it is sad because it will mean all those annoying PC advocacy-types will
claim the PC version is better than the Mac version and all the arguing will
never stop. Sigh.
