At Buck's Restaurant in Woodside, CA there's a postcard on the wall (or there used to be) from a lady somewhere "else" who said since everyone there is wealthy - could they send her some money.

Let me ask you, shifto, if I can.. Why would you like to have, or as you say 'need' rich friends?

It was a tongue in cheek remark. I'm pretty well off as I at least have decent job in IT. I try and make life better for friends and family by spending my money. I just wonder how it would be to be on the receiving end of it all.

Also, my very rich friend will bootstrap my company no strings attached. He/she's the best! :)
