Обсуждение: Re: [HACKERS] off topic
Thanks for all the responses. I really have the heart of doing this all the time but I dont have the will. I have 3 kids and a wife and I enjoy boating, hiking etc. I just cant seem to find the extra time. I like the idea of convincingwork to let me work on projects like this. I was surprised that nobody fit into category 5. I assumed you were all young kids w/o wife and kids and could spend all your free time on this. ;-) Actually I think about doing something like this when I make my first million and retire. thanks again bob Peter Eisentraut wrote: > It's a learning experience.
