No objections. It is my impression that we have a sufficiency of people here who CAN help out commercially as some are, Viesters being a good example but not the only one. The problem is one of suitable pricing so that the individual can actually make money doing it. So I'd say that any fees charged, would have to be timed from when the key goes into the switch to go to the problem site. Other than that, the best support by far, with only one other mailing list of the many I am on, having support on a par with what I have been freely given on these 2 lists. For the support I have been given freely right here on these two mailing lists, I try to make sure the thanks go back to the person answering my occasionally dumb questions. I hope that I haven't slighted anyone. My apologies if I have, it certainly wasn't my intention. > I have absolutely no plans to ever offer any commercial services > myself. And yet, with your knowledge Andy, you would be a good candidate. I suspect in your case since your $dayjob seems to be involved with an automobile maker doing control software, that the problem is one of finding the time to do it.
