What I know is that I applied to work at Tandy's Incredible Universe in 
Arlington, Texas.  I interviewed for the software department.  I have a 
B.S. in Computing Science from Texas A&M and 24 hours toward an M.S. from
The University of Texas at Arlington.  And Tandy never even called me back 
after the interview.
