Additional Background Information: During the late 70's, early 80's I made a career change from the automotive industry...severe allergy to petroleum base products. The creation of HSR was a result of several years of electronic and electromechanical hobbying and due to my experience living in a home environment that consisted of multiple disabled adults. Myself and a few supporting business partners/associates registered the company in Oregon as a not-forprofit 501(C(3)) with the intent to research, design, and develop custom devices for the handicapped. HSR was liquidated in 1986 due to the high cost of medical liability insurance. At this point, I started Information Systems Research, a local technology based consulting firm. I have several years experience with Information Technology Research, industry trends and forecasting, technology training, microcomputer system consulting, home office planning and setup, Point of Sale systems (POS), Barcoding and inventory management, networking, Systems Analysis, Re-
