Hi ya, Mike. You will find this a great place to brush up the old skills.

Thanks Sannbe
I have already found that this is about the best forum I have ever been on and I have started learning new tricks which is not bad for an old guy.

Hiya, thanks for the fanfare, all I need now is some time to do some real work.

At least on this forum there are some brains to tap into to suppliment my own.

Yeah we've got a couple of brains, if you put all the members together.

My problem is that "a while" has lasted more than 15 years and I still get caught..... but yes, the money is there for the taking.

Me, three. Good money and it sure does teach you patience.

JacobHaug · #16 (**permalink**) Jan 26th, 2007, 19:04

hahaha...for sure, but I don't do that any more.

sannbe · #17 (**permalink**) Jan 26th, 2007, 19:12

Nor do I. I quit after I threatened to strangle my student for not listening and when it's your older sister...Well let's just say..the scars are barely visible now.

I have the same problem with the misses, she started a course on Dreamweaver..............!! so I stick to paying clients now, most of whom I get by sorting their computers and then having to teach them how to use it.
Sometimes frustrating is a mild term, they are so busy saying they cant do it, they forget to listen to the explanations.

Enough ranting for this morning.
