      You did say 2 MBit/s right?! What are the living costs like over there? I'd give you a fiver for 12 months rent? No, make that a tenner. Are private brothels legal over there? Are the ceilings mirror tiled? Oh the fun you could have in a mirror tiled private borthel with a 2 MBit/s connection... :-D [edit] No I did not forget to set my h.a.s. ratings. :suss:

                  We made a great deal with a partner of our company and therefore moving to a new office, 18 month before our rental contract ends (This is the current office[^]). Although we try hard to find a successor who will rent the office and tease the rental guy to release the contract, we don't seem to have success either. So my question to you:

                  "What would you do with an 160² office that is unused for the next 18 month?"

                  (hey, we even have a 2 MBit/s internet connection!) Would you

                  • Use it to make big parties all day and night long?
                  • Re-rent it to some other guys for 1 cent/m² to make at least a few bucks?
                  • Do some other, really really crazy thing?
                  • ...

                                    I would rent it at a low cost to a well planned startup company... Give someone a chance...

                                      Must be a damn good deal to offset the cost of 18 extra months of rental fees... -dork

                                      And to be honest, we still have *some* hope to find someone who rents it *before* the 18 months are over... *sigh*. -- - Free Windows-based Web Content Management System: http://www.zeta-software.de/enu/producer/freeware/download.html - Scanned MSDN Mag ad with YOUR name: www.magerquark.de/misc/CodeProject.html - See me: www.magerquark.de
