Gnostic Concepts is a consulting group where the
authors of The_Unix_User's_Manual used to work before
they took the information that the company provided and
started their own company!!!  I find the book very
handy if my keyboard is about 2" too low, but useless
otherwise...

The firm seems to do good consulting work in general
(they certainly charge enough for their reports), and has had
people studying UNIX* for a while.

As someone who is actively involved in the UNIX* job
market I could believe that the salaries on the west
coast are 20-30% higher than on the east coast, but
the take home pay: cost of living ratio seems only about
5-10% higher in CA.

Does anyone concur??????
