>In the 90's, some nerds could make a fortune starting from nearly nothing. 
Such people could have more chance than average to get an interesting 
technological idea, so it make sense to have such "riches" in a society. 
Unfortunately, that time seems over.

 Oh yes, poor us, all the good ideas are gone. If only we lived way back in 
the Golden Age of the 1990s. Yvan, most of the rich nerds from the 1990s are 
still alive (Gary Kildall was an exception, not the rule... I guess he was 
really from the '80s). Many of these nerds actually like the idea of 
cryonics. Things have never been better (they've never been very good, but 
what do you want for nothing?)

>Now if you assume that money falls on someone by mere chance and bright 
ideas 
too,

  Then you're unlikely to make any money or have any ideas. (Not saying I 
haven't spent my time waiting for both to fall on me....) 
  Dani, aren't you supposed to be yelling at Yvan today? Maybe we could set 
up a schedule.
