<<I'm a a tech freak, not an accountant>> Then we should join forces, as I am an accounting freak and not a technician (nor under any definition of the word a "businessman") <g> Cheers

"I'm a a tech freak, " I guess I am, too. In the early 1980s I spent about a thousand dollars on a Radio Shack Model III, which had about one ten-thousandth of the computing power of what I am now typing on. Storage was by way of an ordinary audio cassette. I do remember being told at the store, "Microsoft makes all the operating systems." Unfortunately for me, that sounded like an awfully speculative type of business and I didn't ever buy any MSFT when it went public. Nor any Intel. I just loved the idea of computers, and I thought I was pretty much alone--like ham radio. So I ask myself now, "What are you fascinated with, or what could a new technology do for you that you would pay a lot of money for?" And I can't think of any answers. Do you have any answers? Well maybe I do have an answer. I could use a brand-new body. But I don't see anyone promising that except some religions and the body-building channels on TV.
