New Maybe I'm done for
being out of work for so long, and not keeping my MS-skills up to date with .NET, etc might be major factors against me.

I don't really know what I can do, I might not even be able to handle a job anymore. I might be on disability for the rest of my life. Maybe it is the best thing for me right now?

I cannot escape my past, not sure what former employers would say about me, not that they understood that I have an illness that limits my abilities. Maybe I can get a simple job, but not enough to support a family.

All I know is that I cannot take the road that a best friend of mine took in 1999 when he killed himself. I'm doing my best to prevent that. Not easy, but I still live.

Because "computer" has 3.

What Ashton is saying is this:

There are other ways for a smart guy to make a living than IT.


Hey, I guess I did do it.

Now, look around you. What expensive problems do you see? Which of those is solvable - no, treatable - only by the continued local application of a mind that can manage complex processes. Ignore the presense or absence of data processing equipment. As an excercise, follow the ones where data processing equimpent is not present or atr least not central.

Now go tell the guy with the problem you can help. And how your help is cheaper than not having your help.
