Yeah, well, I got this idea after I read that Gates plans to leave only a small fraction of his wealth to his children (probably only a couple billion each, poor things), and to give most of it away before he dies. I'm re-incorporating myself into a research institute, the QwikSand Institute of Software Tolerance (or QSIST), and going for a grant from the Gates Foundation. I'm proposing a study of how many blue screens a human being can look at before measurable brain damage begins to occur. It's information that I'm sure Gates will think is valuable to the world, and it's a walk in the park to develop the data...all I have to do is edit my diary a little, you know, take out the parts where I was looking into the house next door with binoculars while the machine was rebooting, and so forth. I figure four or five million ought to cover it. Do you think there's an IPO in here somewhere? Regards, --QwikSand
