All my books the first wife kept and refuse to hand them over. Since I dropped out school on the secondary, all my stuff was learned reading books. There was a half ton of them.

TJ, I turned my books to cash even before I bought them as I figured I didn't need some of the "recommended" texts. All I kept were my notes [though I think a thermodynamics book and something else hung around for a while - not being convertible to cash having been made obsolete by the lecturers the following year]. It was just my handwritten notes, reports, assignments and stuff which I stuck in a couple of cartons for cryogenic storage for time travel to a future when I had to earn money from the knowledge which slipped away. I would have been better digging up gold instead of hand-writing useless information as the recycled value of the paper to me was zero and there was a carrying cost. Any gold I'd found would have been valuable. Unfortunately, it was only after the event that "useless" became evident as Fourier transforms paved the way to QCOM which paved my pathway with better than gold. If I had never studied such arcane stuff, I wouldn't have known QCOM could do such tricks as they have with phragmented photons and cyberspace. The opportunity would probably have sailed straight by me, unrecognized. Meanwhile, I don't think I'll dance on the grave of gold because of a little setback in the progression to financial relativity warp-speed. Nor am I feeling doomstered by QCOM's substantial sag from the peak. I am not in the slightest surprised and expected more and will not be surprised if the 30s are reached. Mqurice
