    So, here's what we'll (my _business_ partner and I - aka, the person at
    the other end of the link) will do: form a small corporation that makes
    no money, pays no employees, has no tax obligation of any sort, *but*
    requires internet connectivity. Nobody is reselling nuthin'. There's
    nothing saying that we can't have a distributed office.

    Hee hee hee. Requirement #1 of the new house: ability to run around
    naked in the backyard w/o the neighbors complaining (i.e., it has to be
    heavily wooded).

    Don't nobody come around without calling first!

    ;-)

    Cheers,
