Well I guess my time aint worth much because if I was one of those two guys $5k would have more than covered a nifty new laptop, museum memberships, travel expences, food and lodging and thats all that is needed. #278 could use that extra $20k alot more than me
Doing research, producing books and reports is cheep its just not easy
