9/1/2009: After 25 years with Hewlett-Packard, I am now retired (unwillingly).  I am looking at possible career/job opportunities.  If you know something that you think I'd be suited for, please contact me at jone442@bellsouth.net.

While my experience with HP was mostly on the computer/technical side, I'm very open to other possibilities, also, such as teaching/training, video processing, or historical work.  Two of my resumes are below.  Feel free to pass them on if you know someone that would be interested.
