Thanks for such overwhelming confidence in my writing :)
Don't worry, I managed to scribble out some words on most of the pages.

I'd rather be paid in Lego. True, I could buy a lot of lego with a huge
check, but I like the idea of being paid in plastic bricks. Plus you have
to be *responsible* with money. Not so much obligation with bricks.
As for fairness of life, the whole experience with NQC has been very
rewarding....
* having my work appreciated and used by others
* participating in Mindfest
* the opportunity to write a book
This list is neither complete, nor in order of priority, but I feel the
universe has given me more than ample compensation for creating NQC. As
for money, I exchange my software skills for money daily at Motorola, but
NQC has been more rewarding on a personal level than anything I've ever
done at Motorola.
