<I>I currently work for <A HREF = "http://www.legato.com">Legato Systems</A> as an SQA Test Engineer. Legato Systems, Inc., headquartered in Palo Alto, California, develops, markets and supports network storage management software products for heterogeneous client/server computing environments. Legato believes it is currently a technology leader in the network storage management software market because of the heterogeneity, scalability, performance and ease of use of its software products. The Company's flagship software product, NetWorker, supports many storage management server platforms and can accommodate a variety of clients, servers and storage devices. Legato's long-term strategy is to create an integrated set of solutions centered around storage management that enhance and simplify network computing as a whole.

In the bulk of my free time I am involved in Community Service and Science Fiction fandom with the <A HREF = "http://www.usstikopai.org/index.html">U.S.S. Tikopai NCC-1800</A>, a Star Trek fan club afilliated with <A HREF="http://www.sfi.org">STARFLEET: The International Star Trek Fan Association, Inc.</A>, <A HREF="http://www.tikopai.org/SMI/index.html">Starfleet Marines International</A>, and the <A HREF="http://www.ufpi.org">United Federation of Planets Internationale</A>. In what little free time I have remaining I'm a member of the Board of Directors in the <A HREF = "http://www.lfs.org" target="new">Libertarian Futurist Society</A>. I used to be involved in politics with the <A HREF = "http://www.lp.org/lp/lp.html">Libertarian Party</A>, specifically the <A HREF = "http://www.lp.org/lp/ca/lpc.html">Libertarian Party of California</A> and the <A HREF = "http://www.lp.org/lp/ca/lpsc.html">Libertarian Party of Santa Clara County</A> but I became tired of the sisyphusian efforts required in electing Libertarians to office. Until there is a libertarian culture, Libertarian officeholders will be the exception and not the rule.

Currently I encourage those of libertarian bent to take a look at the web page of the <a href="http://home.lrt.org" TARGET="new">Liberty Round Table</a> - whose mission is to eradicate institutionalized aggression. Feel free to join the <A HREF = "http://www.vader.com/lrtdiscuss" TARGET="new">Liberty Round Table Discussions Mailing List</A> or explore the wealth of knowledge found in its archives. Finally, be sure to check out the <A HREF = "http://home.lrt.org/lrt.dollarwatchpage.htm" TARGET="new">Dollarwatch applet</A> and the <A HREF = "http://www.drugsense.org/wodclock.htm" TARGET="new">Drug War Clock</A> to see how much the government is costing us.

"Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and
strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman
