While I'm not a "Mozillionaire" either, I have done well in the Stock Market in the
last 5 years (thanks partly to the pending sale of my former employer - Ameritech).  I
plan on retiring in about 7 years (I'll be 53), and devoting my fulltime attention to
Lego.  I'd like to open up a Lego store (how about a bulk parts store where you can get
2 scoops of arches and 1/2 pound of tiles to go).  I'd also like to set up my cityscape
in the display window, and spend part of the time offering building seminars.

Just a dream right now, but you never know!  This, of course, is assuming that I give
up the lucrative profession of being a computer consultant.  But that involves giving
up doing what I can make money at versus doing what I love.

with racecars, and here I am slaving away.  I missed the boat on stock options, got
here about 6 months too late :-/

Why don't we pool our resources and buy the Exin company that is up for auction
on eBay...then we can create our own bricks......

It would only take about a quarter of Tom Stangl's stock options, probably  :-)
