Bleh, I had the same problem. Three email addresses later and I've got a
"working" profile. But in the last six months it's randomly stopped
accepting my password several times.

I've had similar issues with the hits I have gotten. I have a crap load of
Macintosh experience now days and want to stay with that, but have no
interest in programming at all. Yet all I get are help desk type offers for
minimum wage, or programming for languages I've never even heard of. Or
worse of all, a primary Windows support position with "some" Macintosh
support.

Thank god I just landed a nice Server Admin job with an entertainment
company.
