My first CV was in (gasp!) MS-Word. ;-)

Then I did a groff one for larks, and was a bit surprised at how well it was received (Wow! how "professional" it looks), and can they please have the "original doc file" for their own modifications. Sent them the source/text file only to receive the rather "sailory" emails that came back. :-D

Then I recovered.

Sometimes it's better if ideals are replaced with pragmatism - I achieve a lot more than I used to.
