Of course, you are correct. I'm showing my age here. I feel very left
behind these days when I hear some people say that being a millionaire is
just being middle class these days. I am way below the poverty level if
that is true! Millionaires do seem to be a dime a dozen these days
(although maybe not recently since the bottom has fallen out in the dot.com
biz)

Well, the multi-billionaires *are* a much smaller group. I always enjoy
reading that yearly rundown of their annual "summit" in Vanity Fair. As for
Gates, it seems like he has been roped up a bit by the Dept. of Justice the
past couple of years. I haven't paid much attention to the stuff going on
with him. But I'd bet the newly-made millionaire employees of Microsoft up
there in Seattle don't wish any trouble ;-)
