And yes, I do it all (bar .SIMS)... . I get an allowance for teaching a couple of (A-level) classes and 6 weeks (paid) leave. I do the whole lot otherwise, and am ably assisted by a small number of pupils destined fot the industry. .> So, I wonder why we do it? .Well, it's experience, it pays the rent, and it was an ideal job for a .school leaver, who'd already helped run the network as a student.... so a .big thanks to the RLS. In my case, I wanted to move to the West Couuntry, and was willing to accept a (66%) cut in pay to do it. After 20+ years in the computer industry, the other rats had begun to look like usable protein! <g> Apart from that, I get to play with computers all day! Regards, Paul Ellison .Robb
