[Hidden-tech] Feeler: Summer Internship for HS Computer Science Students?

[Matthew Crocker]

Theo,

  I could always use some Interns.  I don't know if your students  
could make it to Springfield though.  VB.NET won't do in my  
application (Linux/Solaris shop) but I do have some stuff for a Java  
& PHP programmer.

  I would be interested in working on an internship program with you  
for next summer.

  -Matt
