OT: Have you tried a garage sale yet?

There's probably some stuff in your garage that you could convert to SUNW shares.

JC: I am renting it out to a poor family who recently had a horrible tragedy.
It seems Mr. Doe (got to protect his real identity) an out-of-work VB developer, put his family's life savings into MSFT calls at about the 52 week high.
When it turned south on him, he went to execute the sell, on-line, but windows blue-screened on him, preventing his order from filling. Well, in his fit of rage he trashed his office, a monitor fell on his head and he was comatose for three weeks.
The options expired worthless, and the rest is history.
Now he just stares at the wall and yells "This is Bull**it!" every 30 minutes or so. Quite sad.

But still, Business is business and I have been renting them out for cheap labor. Anyone need some yard-work done?
