Hehe, we've just had a big "fight" (discussion, but for an outsider our discussions often look like we're having a fight ;)) about it. We decided not to do so: most people (or at least, the people we're marketing to) will probably fill in their real address anyway.. And if they don't, they're smart enough to use a "dump"-address.

It's hard. ;-) I'm running my own (small) business while working very hard at launching our startup. It's really hard, because you have so many people to keep satisfied (well, in my case at least); e.g. clients and partners. But if you think you can do it....

I guess about 2 minutes ago, give or take. Waiting for my partner to discuss something with me, so I've got a few minutes to check my feedreader. ;)

MacBook Pro, entry level.

I've had a MacBook for a few weeks (while my MBP was in repair :() and I was so happy to get the MBP back.

I use it with a big CRT in our office and a Samsung 205BW (20" widescreen) in my home-office.

Yes, she's still bitchin' most of the time. ;)

One of the reasons I keep holding on is to proof her wrong. When I started my first business (working on my second now) she disapproved it from before I even started: "it won't work", "it will only cost you money"... When I finally did start (with some help from my (now-ex-)girlfriend who motivated me a lot) she was all like "Yeah, you can do it". She seems to be like that: supporting me when it's "too late". Like those kind of friends you never see, until you suddenly have money.

My dad on the other hand, .. Well, he can be a critic too, but he can set me back on track sometimes and gives me advice.

So yes, she did influence it (still does), but not in the way you probably meant.

I know him since we were about 4 years old. ;)
