Hi Brian,

Please put me down as interested.

As a quick run-down i've been self-employed for a bout 4 years and I
have Diploma in IT (that contained the w2k MCSE track) and a few n4/w2k
MCP certs that I gained before seriously getting into Linux.

I mainly support home users and micro-businesses usually working with
(and doing a lot of hand-holding for) people that need help with all
aspects of their PC use. 

This includes hardware, software, networking, internet, virus, spyware
issues.

 I do have a few larger customers but the lions-share are home users and
I often support areas of the market where the margins are generally not
high enough to be able to employ staff and I don't get exposed to
servers enough but this is gradually changing.

I work with another guy names James Brown when I setup servers and carry
out more complex network integration but I need to drive him around as
he has no car.
 
I would like the opportunity to work with other people and share an
office.

best regards,
