Hello.
Realize this should be in Swedish, but I'm just starting to learn it so
I'll save us all some agony and stick to english for this letter.
I'm a Macintosh sup****t guru in the USA. I'm pretty sick of my country,
and think it doesn't have much of a future. It really isn't my fault,
because I've ridden a bicycle as my primary means of transit (or walked)
since I was 4. I'm nearly a vegetarian, except I occasionally eat fish
(it's a personal thing. sort of a vendetta against fish. Getting even
for all those shark attacks, you see, and the pirhana is the old James
Bond movies.), and I powered my NYC loft with solar panels for 4 years
in the '80's until the landlord made me take them down. I was a
co-founder of the direct action network (the people who do the WTO
protests), and I've basically been on the right side of the arguement
all my life and now I'm looking for a place in which to be a refugee
since we're out of time and we didn't change our coountry in time. I'm
in my 40's, exceptionally healthy and youthful for my age and i have
oodles of skills (see my resume, here:

No, I don't own one of those
boats, I work on one. It's my hobby.
Anyway, I'm thinking it might not be a bad idea to move to Sweden long
about now, as my country has about 2 years left before it implodes. I
don't want to be a burden, and I don't think I will be, but what I
wanted to ask was, how much work is there for macintosh professionals
with my background? Will I be able to get a job that will let me live
like a middle class person? See, I'm self educated. I was basically
forced to leave home at about 15 and never went back to school. In the
USA, no one checks. I have a tested IQ of 187 on the wechsler, and I can
do just about anything really well.
As I said, I'm real healthy and robust (40+ years of biking and martial
arts will do that for you, even if you don't belong to a family that has
historically produced at least one centenarian per generation since time
immemorial, and where everyone else lived into their '90's even in the
19th century. Without medical care. So, I won't be adding a burden to
your magnificent social services system. I just need to make sure I can
get decent work, and is there some kind of adult education? 'Cause I'd
like to eventually go back to school and study biophysics or genetics.
That looks like the next big thing after silicon plateaus, and I have no
interest in retiring, ever.
Sorry for the intrusion, this seemed like the best place to ask.
