Just six zeros shy of being billionaires — that’s close enough.

“Summer school kids”? NOW???

Reminding one of the fact Bill Gates sold Microsoft Disk Operating System 1.0 before he actually owned it. The one who designed it didn’t see the value. Gates actually worked on the improvements. MS-DOS 6.22 was sweeeeeet.

I almost always enjoy Doonesbury, one of the great comic strips all time!

They’ll take the 5k and reinvest in tech stocks. Nah

Cash it! Cash it!

Nobody ever dreams of being a thousandaire, even though it’s a much more realistic life goal
