I'll go work wherever I can if the money is decent.

As to building you a system, I'd be happy to, but you'd get a lot more bang for your buck buying off the rack. I can't build a system at my cost anymore for less than you could get one from one of the major manufacturers.

In this area of the country I can almost break-even with a low end to middle system and be comparative in price. It is the high end gaming systems where the profit is for the single machine builders. At least that's how it pans out here in S.Nevada.

I went to vicky's office Sunday to print some stuff up, and decided to use adaware and stuff you taught me (Compaq P4 1.99 Mhz), 38 processes running, 104 bad guys identified! Not only that, Vicky got pissed because it took almost an hr, I disconnected the cable and ran defrag, like I said, almost an hr! But after I was done, warp speed Scotty! You really taught me some basic but great things to know. Your skills are truly needed here, especially with 20 American companies expanding in Chihuahua (Visteon Corp. is moving it's automation plant from Monterrey to Chihuahua). It's election year, so not much can be done right now, but believe me, I told a Mexican friend you guys are 3-5 years behind us in IT tech, he said no, try ten! I can only imagine how much of a mess the govt.s P/C network is, and all it takes is some good words to the new governor and mayor, and maybe you can get a crack at showing them how to use the force. I do not know if your wifey would like you coming here, even for a contract job, the women are very attractive and intelligent too!

As soon as I get the cash saved, I would also appreciate you building me a kickbutt P4 system that will last a couple of years, that way I have Sony in Texas and a Seth built P/C in Cd. Chihuahua. Of course you get paid for the labor and config my man! Just keep it cheaper than the latest Sony VAIO with hyperthread tech.

BTW, if memory is correct, and Bush did not change anything, out of country work is non taxable too.

The assembly line once again defeats the little man.

I hear ya, I'll probably save for a new Sony VAIO then.

BTW, me thinks I have a Spanish program that interacts by voice at home, I'll check.

I'm bringing a couple of English programs to Mexico, same type, voice interaction.

BTW peeps, that's Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, not Cali, so no American jobs lost! I'll give you a story on Visteon later, as two of Vicky's brothers work for them, the company pays VERY WELL and medical? Try having a clinic on site! Then again, health care is much more of a priority in Mexico than it is in the U.S. The M.D.s here also study for 7 years, not six like in the U.S. When I arrived here Doc Salvador did full tests on me (VA just put me on valium), turns out that not only was I killing myself by drinking, I had a gastrointestinal infection as well.

FYI, out of country money even paid out by the US Gov't IS indeed Tax free, provided you are going to live there for the entire year. It was a clause originally intended to help out US troops in foreign lands, but it helps everyone. Especially trade folks in Iraq (electricians, etc) to whom the Gov't must pay fair STATE SIDE wage but can't tax it. Nice huh?

Thanks for the info Ice, I seem to remember Bush in one of his State of the Union addresses was going to eliminate that, I guess not.

The soldiers deserve it, IMO, they get paid low enough as it is, but some of those civvie workers earn big bucks, and if they are working for an American corp. then the business should have to collect their income tax or have the employees pay. I did not know about the year clause either, that's interesting.
