For Sherry Gallant of West Royalty, P.E.I. a way to stay at home with her children while making a few extra dollars has turned into a lucrative business. Gallant is the owner of Compu-Covers, a small firm which manufactures and markets custom-made, coated-nylon dust covers to protect computer equipment.

Like so many successful business people, Gallant's idea arose out of a need. In 1984 she was living in Regina, Sask. and looking for work that would allow her to stay at home with her two small children. When her husband brought a new computer home, they noticed that it didn't have a cover. "He said, Hey, why don't you start making covers for computers?"'
