Since you're in the job loop, do you know anybody who is interested in working
at or managing a service bureau in DC? We have 2 openings and I'm having a hard
time finding quality people.

I'm not really in the "job loop". Just thought that PostScript programming
opportunity sounded interesting.
If you E-plex me the info on the jobs, I'd be happy to post them on the New
York Macintosh Users Group's BBS, which has a lot of very knowledgeable
DTP-types popping in. However, it seems that while everyone in New York is
always saying "I got to get out of this town!" nobody seems to ever leave. The
New York Professional PostScript Users Group only meets once a month (the last
Monday) so if you're still looking at the end of October let me know and I'll
leave some copies on the info table. That might be a better shot, because the
group regularly draws from as far away as Philly.
