Congratulations!!!:) Great to hear your luck has changed for the better!

Thank you very much!!! :)

Hey does anybody know of a web site that has in-depth information about MSI? Thanks RON

I love building my own systems:). I think just like programming that building your own system gives you that secure feeling of being in control, but then again it could be an illusion:confused:

Thanks for letting me know this up front :) At least this way I'm getting the real picture of the field instead of some school blowing smoke. Now I can start making plans for my future based on reality. As for VB, yes I did take two classes on this and was not impressed with it. But then again it is just another tool.(I think). But I guess what I would like to know from people that are in the field is what skills look like they have a promising future :confused: Java, Asp, XML etc. Thank RON

John, this does not make me feel secure! I'm 42 and have four more weeks of school before I get my ATA in Computer Information Systems. I live in the Seattle area, and all I have for experience is three classes in C++ and one in MFC. I really want to be a programmer, but if you have the experience you have, and your finding a lack in the market, what do you think a person starting out should consider for future skill sets? I love C++ and would like to only invest my time in solid skills that will get me a job. Thanks RON:confused:

After reading about the magazine issue(no pun intended),I was wondering what are some other good web sites for C/C++ programming information? Thanks RON If this was easy it would'nt be fun
