Barry,

 BM> You haven't watched TV in a while, have you?!  The prize rule was
 BM> changed several years back.  The last-placed contestant receives
 BM> $1,000, the second-placed contestant $2,000, while the winner continues
 BM> to accumulate all the money earned.  As for Final Jeopardy!. only the
 BM> contestants with a positive amount of money can play, and I have seen
 BM> just the one person play.  Obviously not playing against anyone, but
 BM> playing against himself.

  I haven't turned on the TV sets here in 4 years...since I put my Mom in
a nursing home before her death.

  Better to play against yourself than with yourself. <bseg>

 BM> That's always kind of a problem: other stuff.

  I'm only one step away from being rich. All I need is money. :P

 BM> One gets what they ask for!

  That's as dangerous as praying for patience, and wanting it now!!

 BM> And then they re-give it and attempt to make it look like it wasn't
 BM> yours to begin with.

  Yep. Folks don't realize until it's too late that "you can't take it
with you".

 BM> You use a free public-domain font?!

  Actually, it's abandonware, as support for it is no longer available. <G>

 BM> ... Save disk space: put your word processing documents in a tiny font!

  Deleting the pickled files (dll's) made my computer sober...but it crashed
on the sobriety test. :P
