well...i left the arts and entertainment industry in Toronto to go to a job in the Smart Card industry in Calgary
after being lied to, losing my job and everything i had (truck, house, RRSP's, savings) - i demanded that the company give me 3 MACs and an NEC Proserva as compensation
i taught myself four years ago from scratch how to do this stuff and still don't know how to find the off switch
btw - i was 34 when i started
