I'd be happy with that, and considering that was back in 1994 you must have
been pretty rich (for a while). I get ?19K a *year* (before tax) at my
current job
(which has nothing to do with programming).

Andrew,
I got 60K first month, 30K next month, then 20, 10 5 and zero. I was part

Er, Fred,
I write software too, I wrote the first ever multimedia program for the PC
in DOS and Windows, the roller coster simulator COASTER. (realtime
fractal
video decompression, with audio)
First months sales $240,000, in 1994
Outsold Lotus 123.
So don't put me in the 'those of you',
I'm in the those of us.
