   True Al
               But most of us are just getting our certs and cannot afford a
$2000 Cisco Router or a T-1 line whenever we are already spending
$10k on classes and have to work a full time job in the process. If there
was a poor mans server site than sign me up.  But I really have a bad 
taste in my mouth whenever business's try to capitalize on the last dime
I have in my pocket whenever I have a wife and two kids to feed. Hawaii
wasnt the smartest move my wife decided on.  Coming from a near 
6 figure annual income in CA , I guess she thought I was invicible and 
decided to move back home here.  Ive been here two years and seen 
nothing but crooks in government.  A regular Mayberry RFD on the dark
side.  For every pot hole I hit reminds me of that fact daily.  Yes, I would
move back but not to lose my wife and kids in the process.  I like the people
here thought quite a bit.  Like Warren and the gang.  We are just helping each
other get through the hard times.
