    As an Foreign Trade Specialist my experience includes all relating of those laws and rules that apply to international trade as per international agreements: the ICC - International Chamber of Commerce - with headquarters in Brussels. These includes the Incoterms - who for those that never heard about them are the so called Terms and Conditions of Sales i.e.: FOB, C&F or EXW terms. Also Shipping Instructions, and Invoicing and detailed Packing Lists

    Special Shipping and Forwarding conditions, as the IATA rules for air shipments, or when in maritime ways: the Conference Lines, or in special shipments (raw materials, chartered consigments, etc) the Outsiders who are transportation companies under very special and detailed terms

    The problem with metrication (the metric systems for weights & heights) in the USA market

    .

    Network Services Expert: consultant for installation and spreading the network services in modern companies, the advantages to use an LAN/WAN or Intranet to deal with increasing amounts of papers and forms, or improving communications and elsewhere avoiding that important facts remains lossed to others areas within the company avoiding waste of time and efforts.

    Graphic Designer When in my free time (hard to fnd more of this) and special occasions, I uses to make CD covers for my friends, Banners and some regional publications covering the neighborhood's near here...I likes Photoshop, who IMHO (in my humble opinion) I found better than the others products like Photo Paint, also sometimes I use Xres3, FreeHand from Macromedia and Bryce.

     

    MicroComputer Specialist: Was the year of 1980 when I put my hands in my first machine! It was an Spectrum with 48 K! after that I has others like the an Radio Shack, the TRS-80, the Atari ST (a must , in my opinion), the Apple II, the same in their model IIe, the Amstrad, a Commodore, and the Amiga 500...

    What was wrong with these machines?, the so called "propietory arrangement", always was very frustrated to move to another machine that only to discover that has his OWN Operational System and others like peripheral's and printers disk drivers, etc that these parts that you already has not works equal in all others machines. All the time you has to need to learn again about commands and behaviors' of each manufacturer.

    Well, this was the reason why Bill Gates is today who rules in computers : in an amazing coincidence he gave to IBM an OS to be installed free in their new prsonal computers just released creating the "open architecture" together the first IBM XT and the new OS for personal computers named D.O.S. as a results the problem above was avoided: you would buy and install printers or any other parts of many others manufacturers, and stand confident that must work attached to your machine, It's simple like that: the offer and the demand market!

     

    Instructor/expert for Windows 95/98. Software expert with advanced skills in the MS Office products, Word, Excel, Power Point, Access, of course D.O.S. since the version of 2.0 to 6.22 until the old fashioned (?) Windows 3.11
    I'll explain this , as stated above I used this machines since the 80's and in same situation I have watched the birth and growth os some interesting pices of software i.e: talking about word processors I has started with a nice program knowed as the TASMAN, and then migrated to the WorsStar, in spreadsheets I started with the Visicalc, and more late migrated to Lotus 123, this a reason why I prefers the Office products, du to his compatibility.

    Also in the Adobe Products like Phostoshop, Page Maker (which it's better and better since the old days of Aldus),

    Finally, the Corel Draw, and the Web Designer from the same softhouse.

    I uses in free times (more free time! this guy never has sleeps?) to act as an Instructor for all those products.

    Astronomer and Theologist, this was an old passion, who of these that uses to spend some time observing the stars and to read studing about the theories of the Universe, his origin, etc. may undertand what I want to said here, that when paying attention to this matter, our universe, you will go directly to found your own path to God throught stars,...

    What a wonderful way to open your hearth to knowledge, Think about it!.
