What would you do if you could go back in time 20 years?

Oops, :eek: sorry :)
Plus warning them would do nothing about the incident since they new beforehand.

I would bring the last twenty years worth of mega-million wining numbers and then invest my ill-gotten winning in known stock market winners.

I'd be the genius in Vegas always picking every game right, picking the futures winners at the beginning of the year, etc etc. Can you imagine picking 5 or 6 teams every year to win at between 3-100 to 1 odds, plus doubling or quadrupling your money every day by picking the winners against the spread? Of course, sometimes you'd have to lose, just so it wasn't obvious, but you could make a nice living.

Man, you guys who weren't around (or too little) in 1984 missed out on some good times. Sure, they seem corny now, but times are never corny when you're living it. I was 10, so everything was cool to me. Miami Vice, good MTV, Atari, Diff'rent Strokes, 16 Canldes. It was a blast!

I'd probably marry one of the ladies I dated back then.

The older you get, the harder it is to find someone :(

I'd have had more fun in college. :evil:

And, knowing what I know now about the market, I'd have bought into Microsoft. :) (Yahoo wasn't around in '84)


Oh...I'd have gone through with my thought to patent instant messaging in 1994, too!!

Dude, my best friend in highschool told me Microsoft was going to be big and we should invest. But we didn't have enough money. If only...
