sloth, I feel you. Had a complaint today about a "slow" PC. "Slow" meaning it takes 5 whole seconds to boot Word when 10 other apps are open.
mcutt, my friend is a messenger and highly recommends MTS, a small outfit on 111th and 1st. He says: "they offer a totally square deal for GOOD messengers."
PM me if you're interested (too far uptown?) and I can give you names to drop.
As I'm sure you know, a lot of companies will dick you around, not giving you enough work, withholding pay, and firing for no good reason. Even with a good company, it's tough work. Good luck.
