Subject: Now Chicagoland DMLers. Was: Re: DML: OT: I'm moving
Hello DML... long time no lurk. Been very busy with school but now I am
done, having successfully finished my PhD work (so now I expect to be
addressed as Dr. Fitchett (c: ). I was just in the Chicago area (for a
total of 26 hours!) interviewing at Argonne National Lab. Since it may
be a place of new residence I thought I would check with those locally
to see about cost of living. home prices, house rental rates, etc... I
am not looking forward to the heave traffic, but coming from California
its not the biggest issue. Just thought I would throw this out there to
see what you folks have to say...
