Who are these guys? I'm gonna send em a LyX resume just to rattle their cage.

At least Word 97 or we can't scan it? I guess this would be too difficult:

strings < myresume.doc

That might not work well for the new XML style documents, but it sure as heck 
would work for everything before that since Wordstar (wordstar flipped the high 
order bit for word wrapping reasons).

Can't scan Word95? Lame. Tired. And yes, Pathetic!
