    1) Get a girlfriend.
    2) Get married (maybe to said girlfriend)
    3) Have at least 2 kids - one boy one girl if possible!
    4) Finally be motivated at something.
    5) To have someone spell my name right, first time (same as Isaac, I have to spell my surname almost everytime or I end up with some weird combination of letters that doesn't even resemble a pronouncable word)

    *shrugs* Can't think of anything else right now.

    1) to be remembered whether for good or for bad (this goes with the saying "I shall live forever in the hearts and minds of those whom speak my name". think of it as a 'just in case there is no afterlife' guarantee ;))
    2) change the world whether for better or worse (better being the opimum route here)
    3) Discover the truth behind being human
    4) Create 1 computer game which is loved by all (1/3 the way there.. I can make a game, now I need to make it properly)
    5) Own my own buisness (techically Ive completed this but lets not call it a buisness until I make enough to pay tax)
    6) Become a millionaire :)rolleyes: I wish)
    7) Leave earth (on the good-rocket ship lolly-pop :D)
    8) Create and maintain an off-earth colony
    9) confuse an intellectual genius with either a nonsensical or complex question (who wouldnt like to make steven hawking think "err, umm... what?" :hehe:)
    10) live long enough for immortality to become a reality
    11) if 10 isnt possible find a fountain of youth
    12) be able to look into bill gates face, head on and say "WTF do you think your doing? an OS is a program, not a way to gain market information or extract personal information! by the way, how old are you, where do you live, whats your credit card number, how many children do you have, what are their names, what ages are they, how much do you earn, when you press submit you agree to the following terms and conditions..."

    thats just a few (not all are in the correct order btw)

    yeah, I'd love to hear his response.

    I would also have had #2 like you only that I already know C++, Jamagic Script, and a little of HTML/Javascript/Qbasic. Perhaps a year ago I would have had that on the list.
