If you have the ability to do such a feat, you will be worshipped. You will be able to earn a living just by giving lectures. Write a book about software development, and you will have enough royalties for the rest of your life. And with a little luck, Microsoft will make you an offer you can't refuse... Make a crippled port of their software to BSD! Un saludo, Alex.
