During
these years I have been a self-employed computer
consultant. I have designed and written custom
software; trained operators; installed and modified
pre-written packages; performed needs assessments and
provided the hand holding necessary for my customers
to fully utilize their computers. In some cases, I
have written procedure manuals for all of a
companys functions, complete with example
general ledger entries. I have programmed using
Visual Basic 3, 4, 5 and 6, Active X, Access, Basic,
COBOL, RPG, Assemblers, FORTRAN, dBase, Clipper,
Informix, Fox Pro, Lotus and Excel macros. I know
computers and how to make them work for you. I have
much teaching experience and have trained hundreds of
students in data processing and accounting. I have
worked on dozens of types of computers and know how
to make them talk to each other.
Having
worked for over a hundred companies has been quite
an education. Usually my evolvement went along these
lines. To establish what tools the company had on
their computers. Master those tools. Complete the
task at hand. I was constantly learning new types of
software.
Over
these 30 years, I have had to relearn computers many
times. For the last several years, my son has been
working with me and learning along with me. To be
frank, we have become quite a team.
We have
put together a few web pages that describe recent
projects to help show you our capabilities.
About our Auctions
The explosion of
online auctions in the last few years is amazing. We jumped on
the bandwagon a few years ago. A friend of ours had been putting
things on Ebay through someone who had quit her job to do
auctions full time. She got swamped and our friend turned to us.
We listed a few things to give Ebay a try. They sold. Our friend
made money, we made money, Ebay made money, and some people got
some neat stuff. Not only did we make money we had fun!
Since then we have shown several people
how to use eBay. They are now power sellers and doing well.
