Bottom Line: I am disabled from Paraneoplastic Cerebellar Degeneration
(a type of Ataxia) and in a wheelchair full-time.
Therefore I have to telecommute from my home office. I have an expert
background in Marketing and Sales, tape backup, and
data security, using both PC's and Macs. I am fluent in French and
German as well as, of course, English (both American and
U.K., which is different.), and I’m learning Spanish and Irish. My
IQ was, and I think remains, 163. I am comfortable with both
the PC (under Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, NT, OS/2, and UNIX)
and the MAC.You get a disabled computer
expert who works remotely on a flat-fee basis for translations, web
site and data-base development, technical writing, and
system security consulting or backup implementation.. I am also a published
author, so if you want to see what I’m like, just ask
for "Star Trek Voyager:The Chance Factor" at your favorite bookstore.
If you're overseas or in a different time-zone, I’ll
happily adjust to your hours and, I’ll gladly sign whatever you need
so I don’t impact your health plan in an adverse manner.
