Please contact Tom Boyer at (803) 559-0526.
(Address & resume are below)
A computer engineer friend who is currently on leave without pay
is desperately seeking some sort of contracted software design and
development to make ends meet. He has already undergone chemotherapy
and abdominal surgery during the last six months and is due for more
surgery in a month or so. He has a 25Mhz 386/VGA system and a home
office to work in, but he can't leave the area to work in another
city until his doctor's give him a clean bill of health. He would
like to work on projects using Unix (SCO, 386/ix, etc), MSDOS,
MS-Windows, or OS/2-PM. Any other projects would be welcome as well.
Please respond directly to him at the address on the following
resume or call any time. He had his own software consulting business
for over 5 years and is capable of working independently.
