I am a former National Account Manager with both Zenith Data Systems back in the 80's and Apple Computer (Claris Corporation) in the 90's and owned a computer store in the beginning of the 80's. When I started in personal computer, I was using a 8088 PC processor and a 68000 Apple processor. I have seen the computer market change in the last 28 years. In the mid 1996 I decided to start a family and left the job force. Since then I have been shown that raising a family with good values and love is one of the most important things in the world. Since I left the job market, I have been both taking care of my parents who are at the end of their life and it's time well spent. I have also been working with my 11 year old daughter to create websites like the ones on this site. They are fairly simple sites but are about things that we both enjoy. One is dedicated to Science Fiction TV shows. It has the entire season episodes listed on the internet to download for all the major Science Fiction TV shows. Another is about Attention Deficit (Hyperactive) Disorder online Dating or Social Networking site. The Next is T-Shirt, Coffee Mugs, Hats, and more site that has humor and life issues on them. There also are Electronic Stores for Nintendo DS, Gameboy, Gameboy Advanced, Gamecube, X-Box, Playstation, Windows, and Macintosh platforms. These stores were created to help my daughter in earning a teenage allowance to fund her needs. (believe me she wants lots of stuff). I also hope that it will grow revenue that will help support her all the way through college since every college student always needs money. She has her eyes set on Harvard, but I think something amazing would need to happen for it to fund anything that large. She like to think big and who know, you never know. If we keep creating sites and work at it for years and years we might actually create something that has lots of earnings over time. For now, we just started with these few simple sites and will see what happens to give us some encouragement to continue our quest forward to bigger and better sites. Currently we are creating the sites with little or no money. I wanted her to start from the ground up to show her how hard it is. Now that we have created the sites and are making money with them, she wants to hire a programmer to design sites like Facebook for her age group. She has great ideas but no funding yet, since we don't have the revenue yet. This from a child at age 8 was selling creations that she made with model magic in or high rise complex on the weekends and doing dog walking on the side too. I have enjoyed every minute of raising her and lookforward to how this turns out. It will be an experience and hopefully one to remember.
