>>The day before I had sold a full set of books to a poor woman (literally) with a couple of kids who I knew couldn't afford it. The last thing I did was stop by her house on the way to the Greyhound station and give her back her check. They were great books, but not for the $125 she didn't have. Kind of a sucky way to make money. Be glad you didn't go through with it.

I was kinda hoping for Golfer's heaven. Not sure I could do programming for eternity. One big endless (here it comes) loop...
