SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO?
by Katherine Spencer Lee
You've searched for that perfect position, aced the interview process
and received a job offer. Now, you've given your boss the news you're
moving on. However, instead of the expected "best of luck to you"
response, you have received a counteroffer--and an enticing one, at
that. What should you do?

WIRELESS: WHERE HAVE ALL THE CABLES GONE?
by MiLAN Technology
Wireless networking has become a widely used technology. Wireless not
only adds mobility but provides an alternate solution for LAN's and
WAN's instead of expensive cabling. Whether you're installing a simple
access point or linking two or more buildings several miles apart
wireless networking may be a more reasonable solution. Most vendors
are Wi-Fi compatible; following the 802.11 standards ensuring
interoperability and lowering the total cost of ownership for your
network.
