I look in my wallet an there are a couple of notes and a couple of plastic cards. The notes represent about 0.01% of iMoney I have in my account. I can use those plastic cards to access the BankCloud and if the strangers at the Bank are willing, the machine will give me more real money on a 1 to 1 reduction of my iMoney. Sometimes I don't even have to change iMoney into real money, I just go to the shop and transfer iMoney from my account to their iMoney account which all resides in the same BankCloud. Of course I have to pay a 'rental' fee for the privilege of being able to access my iMoney at virtually any time or shop. But then again, if a stranger at the bank goes all Nick Leeson on me, the bank will collapse and my iMoney in the BankCloud will disappear like the early morning stratocumulus, leaving me without any real money. Strange what we think we'd never do. Oh, and Tim Miller, I'm just another 'no professional' still with LC, I just don't visit the LC List as often as I'd like because Life is getting more and more complicated, Time is getting shorter and shorter, and between Life, LiveCoding and reading the LiveCode Use List, reading the List is the one I've had to sacrifice. Actually two brand new brainwaves with associated stacks built in the last two weeks and I've got another problem to solve today which undoubtedly will involve a brand new stack. Love LC :-) _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
