I think there's a need for someone who's handy with solder and with chip
pulling to offer their services to upgrade ZIP and TWGS. There's gold in
them thar hills.

I've run my own business out of my house for nearly 7 years, and I
certainly don't have a business license. As an accountant explained to me
a while back, a sole proprietor doesn't need to incorporate. There's very
little you need to do; the most important is keeping financial records.
All the money I've gotten over the years goes into my regular checking
account, but I do keep records to know what of those funds are business
related, and I also keep strict records of things that are tax deductible.

Go to your local library (or bookstore); there's many books on starting a
business.
