In a comment, Don asked, "What is it
that you do?" Well, let me tell you. First and foremost, I am a certified
member of the Apple Consultants Network. That means I am able to help
users of the Mac with technical support, installation, and just about
anything they might have problems with on their Macs. I'm currently
certified on Mac OS X 10.2 and Mac OS X Server 10.2, though I plan on
getting the 10.3 certification when the test is finally available.

On a more one-on-one level, my work is very much like Homer Simpson's
Compuglobalhypermeganet home business in episdoe href="http://www.snpp.com/episodes/5F11">5F11. Comic Book guy, having
his nude photo of Capt. Janeway download interrupted by Homer's pop-up ad,
visits Homer. The scene goes something like...

Homer: Welcome to the Internet, my friend, how can I help you?
Comic Book Guy: I'm interested in upgrading my 28.8 kilobaud
Internet connection to a 1.5 megabit fiber optic T1 line. Will you be able
to provide an IP router that's compatible with my token ring ethernet LAN
configuration?
Homer: [stares blankly for a few seconds] Can I have some money
now?

So that's me. I sit and stare at people as they ask ridiculous questions,
then think to myself, "Can I have some money now?"

I also do some web design and I'm managing editor for the href="http://www.planebusiness.com/">PlaneBusiness Banter, a weekly
airline business newsletter.
