>>I was actually thinking about this. I'm just not sure how to go about it. Somehow I think if I walked up to a charity and asked them if they needed any software written, I'd get blank looks. That's one thing I don't get about this business. How do you find out who needs programs written?

I see ManPower ads around here. They always seem to be looking for RPG programmers. I could see if they ever have VFP jobs available.
