  Well, $10,000 may sound like a LOT, but it's nothing like a living off of 
Shareware.  And the question is, how many years was that accumulated over?  I
know with Columns, the amount of time taken to package disks, go to the post
office and mail 'em ends up meaning I'm probably making somewhere close to
minimum wage just on the time spent mailing the #$%@ things!  It's a fun hobby,
but I'm not likely to be able to quit my job anytime soon!
