Post by: mirex on 2001-12-18 11:32:00: $400,000,- would be enough for me for 3 lives. I would not live too comfortly, but ... Really good.

I would give bigger part from it to the bank, leave them there for 10 years (i would use smaller part in those 10 years) and then ... revenues could be about 8000 $ monthly. 'Till the end of days. :)

Post by: Darkness on 2001-12-18 21:14:00: wow. i just realized how cool that would be. add a wireless mouse and keyboard and youre set.
Title: @#$%ing layoffs
Post by: Sephiroth 3D on 2001-12-18 22:11:00: I'm against wireless mice, especially when you need instant feedback, say for games or something. That 1/10 of a second delay is just too long for me to ignore...

Title: @#$%ing layoffs
Post by: vvalentine on 2001-12-19 08:07:00: I don't get christmas presents anymore. I just get money, and do whatever I want with it. It's sad being an adult now. Days like christmas are not that enjoyable as when one was a kid. I miss being a kid :cry:.
