If you owned a multi-million dollar yacht, and paid the crew a few thousand a week total (one man can't run a ship that large), you'd worry about $1,000 worth of fuel more or less? You'd be more worried about whatever your money came from - the price of MS stock, in Bill's case. When you earn $100/minute, fuel is pretty cheap. And if it gets too expensive, you just buy a small middle eastern country. -- Al - rukbat at optonline dot net
