much information on the company. We currently have about 125
employees. Located in Gaithersburg, Maryland, west of Washington, D.C.
We are NOT a Government Contract company. (Those who care about this
know what I am talking about.) I have been with the company for a
number of years.

given in the posting and not to me.)
