But, VR is

Posted By: SallyS on 2009-05-13
In Reply to: you just said it, right here, that's the beginning - Yes,

not totally perfect and has not gotten that way in the last 5 years that I have worked on it. There are still issues with numbering and other things, but I love it myself. I read before about a person going to work for this company and she was changing jobs because this company was not on VR. I said then and will say again, seems like you cannot run from something that most places seem to be turning to.
