[TriLUG] OT - survey needs people, pays $100

[Jason Tower]

it's not a scam at all, just a product development study by a local company 
that needs (and is willing to pay) volunteers with technical 
backgrounds/interests for their time and expertise, criteria that many trilug 
mailing list subscribers meet.  i did a three hour website usability study 
for them a couple of weeks ago and was paid $150 for my time.  considering 
the state of the local economy i thought the opportunity to earn a little 
extra income would be appreciated by some of the other list subscribers.  as 
someone else on the list recently pointed out, if you don't like it use the 
delete button.  after all, i did mark it "OT" in the subject line.
