Another lesson learnt here: stay off the pot. At a later age you will not be able to count past 4. :-) just couldn't help it. Anyway, interesting thread for me. In januari i'm going to be out of a job. My current employer wanted me to travel every day (it would have taken me 4 hours a day in total) to a customer to do stuff i wasn't hired for and didn't interest me too. This because of the fact that webrelated business was down. So i said that if this was the way the company was heading, my work wasn't going to be fun anymore and that i rather had that they would fire me. That way, i am still eligible for wellfare. So here i am, checking out the possibilities of doing something similar to Vikki. I'm currently checking if there is a market for such a thing. I would be primarily interested in providing service (problem solving). Also, basic security, networking stuff, webpages, java programming and so on. And this for the small businesses. We'll see. I still have time until January :) Benedict -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
