    I read on CP the other day someone thought you were already rich ? :P Christian I am completely intolerant of stupidity. Stupidity is, of course, anything that doesn't conform to my way of thinking. - Jamie Hale - 29/05/2002 Half the reason people switch away from VB is to find out what actually goes on.. and then like me they find out that they weren't quite as good as they thought - they've been nannied. - Alex, 13 June 2002

          Not the game show, but real life. These days I consider a millionaire to be somone who has a net income of over US one million every year. Yes, I know other definitions of it exist but that is mine. I personally believe most CPians have the capacity, but am unsure of how many achieve it or will. Anyhow, who wants to be a millionaire ?

          I'd like to be a millionaire so I could buy my own Island in the Pacific and start my own state. We (the Wulfians) would then build a huge undersea city and ride out the nuclear holocast that will wipe out the land-based world sometime in the next fifty years. Then millions of years later we would come up and seed the Earth with humans once again, except this time we would live as slaves to the insect kingdom. On a more serious side, no I would not like to be a millionaire. Yes, I said no! One million US dollars is less than six hundred and fifty thousand pounds, and that won't even get you a decent house with a pool and tennis courts. If I was to be rich I would have to be super rich and never have to bother about making money ever again. If that can't happen (and let's face it - it won't) then I would rather live my life where I work hard for every single penny I own, and even harder when I spend it. It keeps me occupied at any rate. ____________________ David Wulff Neil says: dave i am a homosexual and i am in love with your father Dave says: That's okay son, eighteen years ago I was in love with your mother.

                                    Yes please! Then I'd be able to employ full time editors and developers, do away with the advertising and marketing work side of things and be able to spend as much time as I wanted programming and even more time doing silly things like snowboarding, rock climing and cycling. Me! Me! Pick me to be a millionaire! cheers, Chris Maunder Rub your belly and pat your head simultaneously. Sometimes that helps me make sense of things - Jon Sagara

If you go off snowboarding, cycling or rock climbing, who's going to look after the site for us wannabe programmers? Get back to work and stop day dreaming, or we'll qote down what holidays you do get and tie you to your desk! ;P Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 If I had a quote, it would be a very good one.
