I have some friends that came to the same conclusion about their general contractors also :o)

Haley is great. She is 13 now, building websites, supporting her school's network for free (it takes too long to get the paid network support staff onsite), and generally being a teenage blessing and a nuisance all at the same time! :O)

Working for a financial institution is almost as interesting as working for the government. :O) Note, I said almost.

What rad tool for ASP net did you choose? I'd definitely be interested. Did you test a few of them or determine you liked the first one you found?

>How's things with you. Are you finding you like getting paid closer to what your worth than working for the government? Daughter good? ( she must be approaching teenager now, no?)

>>Way to go Charles! Let's just hope he does NOT take your advice, however correct it may be! :o) *HUGE GRIN* How are you doing?
