he'd just start higher up on the list; doesnt mean he'll end anywhere higher. really, he ends wherever he wants. now, if you're talking about number of trades to get to a new house, then starting with a monitor would take a lot less jumps, fo'sho.

he could keep up-trading until he owns the planet, i guess.

good find, 'pock. i had not heard of this, and its almost inspiring for all the random junk i've laying about
