OT: Stupid Thunderbird Problem

[Eric Oyen]

Hey, I could always use more education myself. I never did get around to dealing with the RaspBerry Pi here. I was going to use it as a remote SDR machine (there are a couple of cheap dongles with SDR functionality that never would work in windows, so why not in linux using a Raspian based machine?).

Anyway, I can still help out if needed.

I am finding myself in a bit of a financial swamp right now (more like I am in over my head) and an extra $500 a month would go a long way toward getting me clear of the issues. The only hitch is how it’s going to affect my disability payments. However, if it turns into a full time position that pays much better than I get now (which is about $10k/year) it could relieve a lot of stress.
