I re-read my post, "5 year gig doing avionics for undefined reasons."
The product really didn't have a place in the NAS and was undefined,. My
firing was also "undefined"

Hi Dave,
In the middle of nowhere. A place called Goldendale Wa. USA, 130 Miles
west of Portland Or. Under the cloud of Google in "The Dalles"
All my work has been in Portland since 2000., Horrible traffic. Never
met any smelly hippies. Radisys and Intel contracts have been my life.
I got canned from my guaranteed "CEO: Everyone in this room is going
to get really rich": 5 year gig doing avionics for undefined reasons.
Aviation buffs might get the humor..
Cheers,
Jimd.

People are trying to take my home. I've been
paying for 14 years with
one year left, I need the money.
I have had most of the stuff i'm setting on for 20 to 30 years. Too
much
stuff and no work.
Don't ever, EVER take out a credit consolidation loan. I owned this
place 15 years ago when everything was roses.
Took it to use the mortgage tax write off.
