So let me see if I have this straight. The latest version of Limewire for Mac was released with a memory leak, an inability to update its own preferences, and a screwup in selecting the proper MP3 player. And you think I'm to blame because, without a copy of the code, or even flowcharts, I didn't fix Limewire's preference problem for them?

Kid, I CHARGE for fixing problems that other people can't find. It's how I've made my living for forty years. I've designed computer systems when DTL was the only logic family there was, but I've used TTL, ECL, and CMOS. I've also designed barcode scanners, map readers for the Defense Mapping Agency, and codebreakers for The National Security Agency. As far as I know, one of my communication processors is still installed on the presidential "Doomsday Jet," the 747 based airborne command post our president will use in the event of an attack. I started out writing programs in machine language, on the equipment I designed, because even assemblers weren't available. I've worked for RCA, Univac, and Burroughs, to name a few. My design projects have been for such companies as Dupont, Stanley Vidmar, Timex, and *****. If you're a navy pilot and have landed using the Glide Slope Indicator (an optical system used to tell the pilot that the plane is on the proper slope to touchdown), part of that is my design.

These days I'm retired, and rehabbing houses (which are almost as much fun to design)—so I'm not interested in hiring on as a consultant—but was damn good at what I did. So, if you work for Limewire don't bother trying slip the blame on me for your screw-up. I know better.
