I used to be a CTO for a software company, it was bought by a competing co. for a generous sum, enough for everybody to "retire" at an early age.

To be honest, while the company was worth a lot at that time, with emerging new technologies, I don't think it was worth the price the other company paid for.

I for one couldn't imagine, paying that kind of money knowing that years down the road, some hot shot younger company can build a better product that is twice as efficient and technologically advanced.

I used to have a reg. job, but now I just monitor arfcom for posters who ask silly questions. I take notes and at the end of the month I turn those notes over to "The Big Guy", for action/punishment/fines/beatings...well, you get the drift.

We have amassed quite a hefty journal/encyclopedia of names and dumb-ass questions.

Up until recently, I was a "finder of lost collateral"..... I located cars/suv's/RV's/ Boats/Planes/ect for lenders that needed to repo them.... Now I run a department of those who find lost collateral. 8-3 job, mad benefits and perks, life is good. And I get to go on the occasional "field trip" to take things away from those who don't feel the need to pay for it..
