A word about payment……
I always ask for payment in advance as I like to have one end of the deal done and dusted, so I can concentrate on the engineering side, and also because I hate having to chase people up for money.
I’ve had some notable incidents in the past (not a BBS’er among them though). These are all good guys BTW, just cockups of modern life, and more to the point the current postal system we're now "enjoying"... that’s progress!
Sometimes with people I do regular work for of an inventive kind, they send me a starter fee, and then I quote the difference. At other times I say “just send me what you think is appropriate”, particularly if I know they are fair minded people, so I'm also happy to work like that with people I know, and I appreciate their honesty in addressing the cost.
So cheque or cash please to my home address. No paypal, or Visa please…..this really is just a hobby.
