Judging by the articles in the Star today 02-08-01, it looks to me like the powers that be are actually trying to do something with that freshly plumbed T-1 trunk line in the old VA hospital.
I really hope they're not thinking about emulating metro Kalispell/Libby and trying to get Stream or ClientLogic or the like to come in and set up a tech support shop.
For one thing, I'm not sure Miles City has a big enough labor pool for an outfit like that. For another, I'm not sure that the pace and quality of life in Miles would benefit by a multinational conglomerate becoming the city's largest employer. Larry could tell you better than I that the world of 'puters moves at a pace that Miles hasn't seen since the 6th Cav moved in to Ft Keogh.
I'd give my right arm to move back to Miles, but I'm not sure you could pay me enough to do it in tech support.
