Troubling indeed. <of course the troubling point for all alert millionaires should be, "when would i be relegated to providing reflexology, driving cars, and tending to messy baby needs?" > To be relegated would not be so good and I have experienced relegation to far worse jobs than those in my early days. Jobs from which the men I worked with would not all, or mostly, escape from as I knew I would. I sat on some sheet steel eating my sandwiches one day, looked inside the factory and thought to myself "I shall not forget what life is like for you". So that I would always have understanding, sympathy and appreciation for those who could not move on. Similarly in London a year later, I would reflect on the lives of the couple with infant downstairs in the row of terraced houses in a low rent district whose ambition in life was to get a council flat. But troubling in another way. I find when not relegated to reflexology, driving cars and minding messy babies, doing so is actually quite pleasant and rewarding. The question is what's the best thing to choose to do? Steve Jobs, faced with death and with all the money in the world chose to go on doing what he'd done. It was what he wanted to do and valued highest. Zenbu bought a apple.com the other day. Thanks Steve! It's fantastic. The electricity connection is a grab on magnetic snugly fitting device. Wonderful. The rest is as good. He was an amazing reflexologist and note that he did not do it for the money or due to being relegated. It lacks Qualcomm connectivity, but Rome wasn't built in a day and what to leave out is as important as what to put in. On a lesser scale, I'm also faced wit h death, though not so imminently, and also can afford to choose, though not so profligately, Over the last week I selected tending to baby and child needs, driving to collect children to drive them to school and kindergarten and am now reflecting on relegation, choice and empathy. And doing so while insomniac about to check the markets [which have taken second place to said reflection = the end of the world can wait [if I find that's what's going on], while I reflect]. Being relegated to what I choose to do would not be so good as choosing to do what others consider relegation activity. I choose to help enable Macbook Air DeVices to connect to Cyberspace when in NZ [and Cook Islands and Australia]. Now, to the markets to see whether the end of the world is nigh. Mqurice
