So... ... how come we didn't get more QA 'samples' for the meet???
All the alcohol at the meet was "Diageo" products (cause I get them for free). The park, however, does not allow hard alcohol in the pavilions. We'll have to plan accordingly for next year.

I'm just a computer programmer mostly revolves around database management but not all of it does. I've made stand alone apps and web based apps. Can/have used Basic, V-basic, C++, VBA, .NET VB, VFP(6, 7, 8, & 9). Also when needed I do networking/hardware work. I've built the last three computers in the office. The travel is fun, seen Yuma, Las Vegas and Norway for work. I've been doing this for 5 years. Prior to that I worked in a garage doing tires, batteries, shocks/struts, etc....

I work in the parts department for saturn of pleasant hills, mostly as a driver, but I do spend a bit of time at the counter
I also am the primary remote start/alarm tech at a small car audio shop in elizabeth, pa-mts car stereo
I've been working there for about 8 years now, it's flat-rate, and buisness is too up and down to rely on, so I went part time and that pays for my toys
