Ha! How hard is it when your IDL web page is so popular
it is costing you an arm and a leg to keep it on the air?

Here is a piece of advice: just make sure your significant other
doesn't also quit the day job. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. I've always believed that if you are passionate about
what you do, and you do good work for a fair price, and
you *care* about it (I call this "being on the path"),
then the work finds you. It's mostly worked out in the past
14 years. But there are days (today, for example) when all you
can do is work on that damn book and hope the phone rings. :-(
