Subj: MAKING $$ IN THESE HARD TIMES..
Rick: In response to your "writers" query: who's hiring writers these days? The answer is basically: nobody. Or photographers. Or art directors. All of which I have been in times past. Not to mention a teacher, a counselor, a cook and a dishwasher. I am writing a lot of proposal letters to a lot of companies trying to drum up work as either a photographer or a designer. So far nada, but that is typical for the free-lance life. Nothing, nothing, nothing then one decent score, you pay all your bills then nothing, nothing... when I can, then load them into my Mac Plus for editing and printing. bought With regard to both the Mac and the Model 102: I am able to use them fairly well, but am painfully aware that I don't really know much about the actual workings of either, much like the fellow who climbs into a car, turns the key and speeds off without understanding the mechanics involved. I have read several books on the model 100 but gave up after several re-readings and little comprehension. I am no dummy, but may just not be very good in whatever part of my brain deals with this stuff. With regard to your being swamped with calls and mail: its your own fault for being so approachable. Truth. Just build a couples of layers of beaurocracy and unpleasantness around you and I bet your calls taper right off. Do you have kids or grandkids in the first to fourth grade? When I send in my BBS guide and library $$$ I will enclose a copy of a children's book I wrote and photographed last year about Eskimos. Maybe that will help with your stress levels: someone giving YOU something! --non-stressfully yours, --Russ Kendall
