A first-time attendee at last month's Silicon Valley AT&T UNIX Users' Group
meeting (in Sunnyvale) has an exciting opportunity for an UNIX consultant in
the San Francisco Bay Area, especially if you're familiar with bartering for
services rendered.

Read on, and you'll see why I offered to post this to Usenet for him (which he
just FAX'd to me); PLEASE respond directly to the phone, US postal mail, or
FAX addresses shown below (please do NOT respond via email to me; thanks!)

Dear Uniforum Member:

We are a fellow member of Uniforum with an unusual idea.

We are a small firm not in the computer industry.  We would like to offer a
rent-free office, in downtown Oakland, California, remodelled to your
specifications, in exchange for your help computerizing our business with
a twelve-terminal, client-host UNIX computer system (version of UNIX yet
to be chosen).

We have already analysed and chosen a UNIX package from among the available
vertical industry software.

Otherwise, we are a "blank slate"; we have not heretofore computerized our
rapidly growing, ten-year old business.  We just moved into new offices,
which we will remodel to order, depending on a consultant's analysis (yours?)
as to how our work area and (as yet unpurchased) hardware should be configured.

We are offering free office space consisting of a private entrance, one or
more rooms, phone reception, photocopier, fax and kitchen privileges, as well
as a separate-entrance conference room.

Oakland, for the unfamiliar, is just twenty minutes from San Francisco.  Our
central, downtown Oakland location is near all major transportation (bus,
subway, taxi stands) and includes ample, low-cost parking, even for large
groups.

In summary, we have well-located, extra office space, but we lack computer
expertise.  Would you consider a branch office?  Or do you know a fellow
professional who might?

If interested, please call toll-free 800-800-8788 (or the Oakland and
San Francisco numbers in our letterhead).

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Logan McCall
METRO LEGAL SERVICES, INC.
