re insurance, I cancelled that a few years ago, when it rose to $800/month for myself and 2 employees. Now, I'm lucky that my wife works for the county. I'm on her insurance.

It pays the bills, (Thanx NY!) but no new car or maintnance to the home. Thats why I also fix stuff on the side, as well as computers, and install car audio/video equip. We have 3 techs at my shop. One guy works the counter, and does some computer repairs, the other does camcorders, and hi-end vcr/time lapse recorders. I repair everything else. We have health insurance, but with a 1000.00 deductible. So I would say it depends on the area you live in. Things may be cheaper, but you wont make as much. > > > Scott Beebe > Ohm Electronics Inc. > 609 W.
