Yes.

No.

DYNAMIC content is the way to go.  You only have to write a few pages, but
I'm sure you knew that.  By the way, when I shut down the cart I had about
80,000 products listed in the cart, but I only had to write about 20 pages.
MySQL is your friend.  I was a little leary about writing my own perl
script, but PHP is some pretty cool stuff.  I've been learning perl too, but
a lot of stuff is so much easier and faster with PHP.  Probably use both if
I go back on line.

Even some of the tech support stuff can be managed the same way, but for
that it actually takes time to document.

No clue what TTBOMK means.

Wasn't going to stay within the industry.  Also, I have not been sitting
still.  I've been learning quite a bit about coding and flow management.  My
background if you may recall is in CIS, and I was already profficient in
several languages.  Just takes a day or two to wipe the dust off those
cognitive areas and start writing code again.  If a previous employer had
not tried to stiff me I probably wouldn't even be in the alarm industry.
