Sidebar: Found Money (21. June 2005, 06:36 by Derek Young) ~

A friend recently dropped into Tacoma as he toured the country. Over dinner we discovered that he had never seen a web page. In fact he had never used a computer. He ran a business for ten years the old fashioned way with ledgers and notebooks.

With a little help from Laura he was shown the world wide web, email, and Google. Just to see what would happen, he typed his name into Google. The first result was a list of people that could not be located that were owed money by their state and by the IRS. He’s hooked. He’s getting a computer once he gets home. The found money may even buy it for him.

In ten years on the Internet I don’t think I’ve ever found money.
