Hei Bob do not help him out. It's not fair: 2 Vs one.

I do understand you.

I had to work very hard.

Write a lot of lines of code
for a poor salary.

Endless days sitting on a chair.

Working about 20 hours a day.

Sometimes I just wanted to vomit in front of the monitor.

But that was worth.

At the end I succeeded in saving enough money

...for the operation.

Happy? Can we now get back to the tech stuff ?
