Just the other day, through a twist of favorable fate, I ended walking around with $100 dollars in my pocket. Now I realize, to some of you, this may seem about as notable as finding a horseshoe at a rodeo. Keep in mind though, I’m a college student (not a cowboy), and this was a hundred smackaroos (not a horseshoe). So for a time, I was the cock of the walk. That was, until I came across this quote from Steve Wozniak:
I've got about $20,000 (£10,670) on me at the moment, which is about the usual. Cash has always appealed to me more as a means of payment than cards.Now, bear in mind the fact that this is a man who owns roughly 13 Segways, is an honorary employee for life at Apple, and oh yeah, will be making a trek to the South Pole in a hydrogen cell powered Hummer with Buzz Aldrin. Now, without sounding indignant, I’ll say that something tells me that my parents were on to something when they told me that life’s not fair.
Woz, don't walk down on any dark alleys.
When you popularize the personal computer and then don't have $20k and aren't offroading it with astronauts, then you can complain about life not being fair.

Good point Ward.
When taking his level of accomplishment in comparison to my own, I suppose I'm doing just fine.
