    Thot I'd get in what is sure to be an enormous line of optical folks commending you, Steve, on your contributions over the years, not only thru the Optiboard but in all those other areas as well. I have enjoyed our friendship and expect it to continue. Best of everything to you and your family.

    Thanks everyone!

    It's ironic really. I started the Optical Help Wanted page six years ago to help people in this industry find employees and get jobs. Since then I've been pleased to know that this servie has helped many people get a new job. And now I find myself in the position of using my own service! :D

    Anyway as I said in my announcement, I intend to continue operating OptiBoard no matter what happens. And I really do appreciate your support. (I've received over 60 emails in the past 24 hours!)

    Good luck with what ever you do Steve and a big thanks from the UK branch...
    Sola don't know what they have lost or where they seem to be going.

    Steve will be a success where ever he chooses to set them.
    It is in our best interest to pass any opportunities we come across - on to Steve. Hopefully he will get many offers without us, but we certainly need to keep his talents in the industry.

    Good Luck Steve. Your talents will be sorely missed at Sola, but a boon to whomever gets you next.

    Well Steve,

    May I say from experience, what seems like it is not real definitely is.

    If you have a chance take a breather and discover what it truely is that you are looking for.

    I went through this almost a year ago and had the time to explore & relax. It took me awhile. I too almost left field. Somehow God showed me a direction that turned out to good to be true. Six months later with a lot of exploration. In hind sight it could not have come at a better time.

    I wish you well if there is anything I may do for you let me know!

    Best Wishes,
    Bev

    PS I hate the smaller keys on this laptop!
