ha ha ha ! i think every app engine developer must have choked on their late night coffee, looked at the the half eaten muffin beside their keyboard and wondered if they will ever be able to afford to eat again, if their app attracts a minimal 10,000 users at 24 thousand USD a month. Hey its bought a smile to my face - the figs that are now being talked about seem far more practical - ill stop crunching my cpu cycles and thrashing my code to speed things up - and continue to drink and eat this nights quota of coffee and muffins in peace. Thx to all her commented.
