Such a silly goose! Just like a COLA regular.
Only 10 or so billion dollar or more software companies selling Windows
software, true. But there are thousands of multi-million dollar
companies. Maybe it's tough to make a billion anymore, all the easy
jobs have been taken it seems, but if you are frugal, you can do quite
well on ten or so million.
