Actually, Joe, I made some decent money a few years ago helping Mac users
figure out their 'puters. I got into it by "accident" -- I advertized myself
as a computer expert, but wasn't specific. It's funny how almost all my jobs
turned out to be Mac related. People wanted me to do all kinds of stuff from
graphics to database design.  If it is so easy, why do people need to
hire help?
