Dion, maybe if you read my post out loud and sound out all the big words you'll grasp what I was saying enough to throw together a coherent post of your own. I was asking him how he planned to buy a jet. If his plan includes somebody giving him $50 million, then he has a very good plan. If he thinks he can earn enough after-tax dollars in ten years (after he finds a job, mind you) to buy a private jet, then I think it would be useful and helpful for him to learn that this is a ridiculous dream.

So P, again, what is your plan to get you from jetless to jetful?
So for example do you think Jim Balsillie had it all planned out exactly how to invent the Blackberry, manufacture, and market it when he graduated University as an accountant? Or did he maybe just have the goal of becoming extraordinarily wealthy and after working for awhile the idea came to him, or worked with someone else who had a good idea and decided how to make it big to fulfill that other goal? The one thing Balsillie knew was that he wanted a short stint in accounting to help him lead to something else bigger and better.
