Money. From: phy3dxl3@sun1.bham.ac.uk (Mr D Lovett) Date: Wed, 09 Jul 1997 00:00:00 +0000 Ya know, there would seem to be a fair amount of cash out there to be made for very little work, if you are willing to put the set-up-work in. I'm saying this after a few quick sums, from the Olympia game i've recently joined. 222 players x 52 weeks x $2.50/week = $29k/yr! Now i don't know whether the guy running it tells the taxman about this (i certainly would not!), but even after deducting say, $2k for a leased line, this is not a bad wage for coming into the 'office' once a week, and running the server program! Don't misunderstand me - i'm not saying the price is too much, on the contrary, i take my hat off to the guy. If it was easy to write such a program, there'd be more of them. Just give me a few months, for my Mother-of-all-PBeM's to get up and running, and i'll soon have my student loans all paid off! DL. Referenced By Up
