Well, sort of. (grin)

The hard part these days is getting the proper message out to customers.
Without a lot of start up cash, you can't pay salaries, so you have to
start small so that a few people can live off of the money that does come
in. Once the customer base is established, which can take years, then it
is possible to grow.

When that happens I'm looking first at the folks in TriLUG.  Even now,
when I come across a project that I'm not qualified for I look to the list
to see if I can pass it on. Recently, one of my customers needed
enterprise-level LDAP support, and the list sent me to Mark Turner (well,
IRC did).

Gamefully? As in BZFlag?
