Decade? Would you care to take bets on that.

Apart from me not being a betting man, it would be rather unwise of me
to take a bet on something which the other party can influence. I can

preparing this very library in your spare time, and I have to pay up
because you finish it just in time. Hah. If you want sponsorship for
your time library, you can ask the government :-P
