Yup, and that's why I am so damn good at poking fun of people's typos. :) Of course, I have to be careful not to make any myself whilst making fun. :) Simon I need your clothes, your boots, and your copy of VS.NET. Sonork ID 100.10024 Current Addiction : Colin Mcrae Rally 2.0

Considering how hunged-up the tech industry is today, Bill and people who got into tech in it's begining are amongs the luckiest people to have ever walked this earth. These days for every software product idea u can think of, there's a free one(probably better) raoming the net. I wonder if Biotech is what someone like me who's looking for a gold mine should be looking at. The software industry is getting discoraging everyday.
The future is computer telephony integration. The future is making computer systems that help people do their jobs quicker and better. The future isn't one product but making a whole bunch of products work together (hardware and software). You can make a very good living from doing this kind of stuff, I know because I do.

According to the government he was more than lucky! I believe that his smart and talented buisness skills is what carried him to the top. You cannot be statistically luck as many times as he has beaten the competition.

A little piece of advice, so take it for what its worth (keeping in mind how much you paid for it), Do not go into a job or industry looking only at how much money you can make. It is almost guaranteed that you will be miserable in your job, will not make as much money as you want, and will burn out after just a couple of years. Instead, try to get a job doing something you love doing. Before you know it, you will be making decent money at something that does not even feel like work. You will get up each morning looking forward to the day, and you will be happy with you life. There is more to life than money. --- CPUA 0x5041 Sonork 100.11743 Chicken Little Within you lies the power for good - Use it!

I would recommend starting your own buisness if you have the programming skills and a business mind. You then get the best of both worlds: The ability for unlimited earnings and the fun and respect of doing something you love.

However, I would look at something you truely love doing, don't limit yourself to hightech. Get a job working for someone who does what you enjoy. build up your skills, make positive contacts with with your boss, his clients, suppliers, and business associates. After several years of doing this, you will be able to strike out on your own, and you will have a network of contacts who will help you get established. Remember that no job is a dead end job if you approach it with a positive attitude and really enjoy what you are doing. --- CPUA 0x5041 Sonork 100.11743 Chicken Little Within you lies the power for good - Use it!

While it's true that there are probably already free versions of whatever idea you have in mind, it's not true that the free version is always better. Sometimes it is, sometimes it's not. Further, many products suffer from complexity problems, or poor interface problems. You can often succeed in a market that has many competitors just by making a more logical and easy to use program. People are willing to pay for things they find truly useful. Of course people won't pay for something if they don't have to, but if it does the job in a more attractive manner than your competition, you can gain a good share of the market. Given the choice of similar products that do the same thing here is my evaluation critera (in order of importance): 1) Value (cost) 2) Ease of use 3) Features 4) Attractiveness While I list Value at the top, it's not necessary a case of what is cheapest (or free). I consider something a good value if it provides a great deal of usefullness for it's price. A product that is cheaper, but is less useful will rate lower with me. -- Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?

Al. Alice thought that running very fast for a long time would get you to somewhere else. " A very slow kind of country!" said the queen. "Now, here , you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place".

The real money's in developing a system that translates Men-speak to Woman-Speak and visa-versa. Her: "Do you think I'm getting fat?" Translation: "I saw an old high-school girlfriend today and she looked fabulous! Seeing her made me feel ugly and I need self assurance. Please tell me I'm beautiful." Him: "No." Translation: "When you ask a question like that it really puts me on the spot, because, though I think you're beautiful, you really could stand to get in better shape. But if I said so that would hurt your feelings and start a big fight and I'd probably end up sleeping on the couch tonight. Instead of seeking reassurance from me, why don't you go to the gym with your girl-friends. You'll feel better about yourself over all that way." There's gold in them thar hills... :-D Why not throw away a dime? I throw away ten pennies all the time.
