I hoped that was the case between the umpteen years of school I've had and 
considering I've never finished.

Not so sure that I could even be competitive, though. I'm still pretty much a 
newbie. 

That doesn't mean I won't try, just means that I come in a bit more 
discouraged than most, but that's OK - I really appreciate the vote of 
confidence.   :-)

No problem. 

I caught the funny.   :-)

My biggest flaw througout my IT experience is the fact that I'm certainly not 
scared to change from one app to another if I can't make one work and can 
another. I figure there's no loss for me to see AS MUCH as I can AS OFTEN as 
I can and troubleshoot to make it work.

Probably sounds really ignorant to many of you, but then again, you're all 
much more talented than I am at this stuff.........  :-)

Yeah, I figgered that out pretty quick. Gets heated in a hurry here, no doubt 
about it.    :-)

That was kind of my hope for the short term, but I just don't know at this 
point. It will be fine either way, I just want to get in somewhere that I can 
be used.

Yeah, that's the FUN part.  And it's a matter of opportunity whilst I'm still 
here........  :-)

Thanks, Brian. 

Nice to have the reassurance from guys who do it for a living in the city.  
:-)

Not that that will employ me, but it's still really appreciated.

Take care.
