i could do some of what you do, if i didnt have to work all day, i'am sure your friend don't have a wife and kids to support, good for him thou, but iam sure most of the jobs he gets are and the pay is low, like your friend thou i work me nuts off even when the employer takes the , ive had about 4 sickdays off in near 5 yrs, and believe me getting someone thru med school is expensive even in the philippines, and for the last few years ive tried to keep the same job, so when its visa time it looks like i can hold a job for more than a few weeks, iam even thinking for quitting now, but its visa time so i'll have to stick it out.

as for what your doing, good on ya, ive looked at your sites, well done , but not everyone can do what you do, your similar to my bro, ive use to program video games in the early 80's !! did u ever have a vic-20 or commodore +4/c16 ?? , I like you, learnt to program, even started a open uni degree , got 1/3rd thru it to stop becuase i couldnt afford it, but ive not quit,ive worked in It for what more than 16yrs, i can build pc's,portables repair them , was compaq certified, and even mcse in nt4. i repair printers at the mo, and its semi-skilled/skilled, i always try to be the best at what i do. i have had some set back thou , well being a manc i can and at them.

but its time i did something, and i will ,
