JDN - re: you are COY in stating you are 50+ And the fact that my first programming job was in 1966 might also be an indicator... Many young people have enlightened me with new perspectives on how business segments might operate, new thinking on overall systems design, etc. and I always try and stay open to those new ideas. Still, I think I must have learned SOMETHING in the last 30+ years... ZJXAP LEAPs continuing up, heading for a double in less than 2 weeks... I should have bought A LOT more. However, Steve took me to task for claiming that the LEAP price would "ride the stock price" and he was right - stock has gone up nearly 20 and the LEAP only about 12... I still like the leverage but have added something to my simple model based on his input.

JDN, Didn't finish college is right. Couldn't find a job not quite right. Never had a permanent job from anyone else. I started my own computer business at the age of 18 and have been dealing with customers on a daily basis ever since. Customers whose servers I have worked on include Bankers Trust, BMW, Rhone Poulenc, AGFA, EDS, Severn Trent (one of the world's biggest utilities), and Charles Schwab (who I designed the European NT infrastructure for). Plus many, many more smaller businesses. So I reckon I know what I am doing. You may jest at my age, but through 8 years of hard work, I am now at the point where I don't have to work. Some people don't learn in a lifetime what others learn in a few years. It's all down to commitment.
