The End Personal note: This PowerPoint presentation covers my career through retirement. Since retirement I have done some consulting work off and on, mostly to help out friends. I have maintained my skills mainly through projects of personal interest. Computers are fun! The companion to this PowerPoint presentation describes some of these projects and provides a look at the capabilities that I have in my basement. Jim Rosenkrans, 25 January 2007
