[nfbcs] it jobs problems

[E.J. Zufelt]

Good morning Marvin,

There are a few freelance job sites online.  Most of wich range from 
reasonably accessible to poorly accessible, but I believe that all are 
usable.  Note: I am not recommending any of the sites, but have used 
RentACoder in the past as both a buyer and seller.

http://RentACoder.com
http://GetACoder.com
http://eLance.com
http://oDesk.com

HTH,
Everett
