Hmmm....
Well, once you've got enough $1 chunks from sales (without answering any
email questions) to compensate for the time spent actually
developing/writting/editing the book, *then* maybe you can stay ahead
letting folks buy consulting seconds through book purchases.
Let's see.... 20 seconds for one llama purchase, a full 8-hour day of
consulting for only 1440 llama purchases! Donate the llamas to schools
as a tax write off, and get a full day of Randal for a song ;)
(and more school-age students learning perl, to boot)
