I remember learning about Utopia last year... was it Karl Marx who created the town? actually Marx's definition of Utopia(communism) isn't the primary(and IMO isn't correct.) the primary definition is actually "A perfect place", with the secondary meaning "an overly idealistic, unrealistic society"... i like the primary better, don't you? :D anyways, back on topic....

I remember learning about Utopia last year... was it Karl Marx who created the town? The term "Utopia " was coined by Sir Thomas Moore who wrote a book (c.1516) on an imaginary and ideal country and a place of ideal perfection especially in laws, government, and social conditions. The term is also used with a negative connotation to denote an impractical scheme for social improvement. Thanks for your indulgence!

But, since I've been single a while, it all depends. I have good weeks. And then there are those times where I don't do anything for a coulple of weeks at a time. It's like a rollercoaster ride. In more ways than one. ;) :eek: What?? :eek2: Make? :eek:Make?? :( I coulda swore somebody said mate. :( Oh never mind. :rolleyes: Aussie Bob 08-13-2002, 05:59 AM Originally posted by TMX There is no money in this business.

You'll likely be disapointed by the figures you may see on some of the newly (6 months-1 year) founded hosting companies. You should be expected to take a loss in money and time for the first few months before you even see a profit. After a year or so, if you play your cards right, you might have enough to live from, but that might still be cutting it short. jhcashman 08-15-2002, 09:23 AM Ha Ha I am not even married and I get that... maybe your wife just ain't treating u right? :rolleyes: As for "wife tax" I havn't had to pay that yet... but girlfriend tax is bad enough :( Originally posted by UmBillyCord Dennis, if you were getting it 10 - 20 times a week while married, then there can be only one explanation.

Don't get into debt, it is simply not worth it. We have made a profit every day from day one. We have no debts and turned over about £400,000 year to end July (approx $600,000) In the next 12 months we should turn over £600,000. Of course only a small part of that comes to me. And a large part of the profit comes from our domain registration business, but that drives the hosting to some extent. Margins are very small.
