ArcGIS Server 9.2 now shipping

No doubt you may have heard already, none the less, ArcGIS 9.2 is now shipping. Highlights of the ArcGIS 9.2 release include the following:
ArcGIS Server 9.2 delivers a complete Web GIS for spatial data management, visualization, and analysis. It is an open and interoperable server that supports a broad range of clients including ArcGIS Explorer, out-of-the-box browser-based applications, ArcGIS Mobile, and ArcGIS Desktop. ArcGIS Explorer supports a wide variety of 3D mapping services as well as geoprocessing services for spatial analysis. ArcGIS Mobile is included in the ArcGIS Server software developer kit and supports mobile application development for the .NET platform. In addition, models and applications authored with ArcGIS Desktop as GIS services can be used by all ArcGIS Server clients.
A new method for storing cartographic representations and a suite of advanced drawing and symbolization tools help users automate tasks and perform the complete cartographic production process within the GIS. By integrating sophisticated cartographic tools with a database-managed system, users will save hours of manual work currently needed to re-create maps.
New visualization and analysis tools allow users to create, play back, and export time-based animations and graphs of how processes evolve, thereby revealing patterns and trends that allow users to make better decisions.
Much more! This according to Jack Dangermond... “This is one of the biggest, most significant software releases in ESRI’s history”

Hi Glenn!
I'm a recruiter and I do a lot of work with Geospatial technologies. I wanted to reach out to you because I have a lot of clients in the Midwest and southern area of the US. I'm very excited about these opportunities and would love to connect with anyone that might be able to help me in this search!

Do you know of anybody that might be interested or of anywhere else I could post my jobs? I would greatly appreciate your help!
