Dazzled by seeing such computer knowledge in the hands of such a young man, Network Systems hired him in January of 98. In his spare time, Jason likes to work out and play computer games. 3-D shooters are some of his favorites, and for you other gamers out there, he says that Ultima 9 holds great promise...

He began working for the Help Desk in May, 1998, and after graduation plans to be a programmer. Josh is quite the movie fan, and says that this year's movies were pretty good. His top three (in no particular order) would be The Matrix (well, that one is number one for sure, he says), Entrapment and Deep Blue Sea. When you watch the Oscars this year, remember that Josh said it first...
