I just love guys like you.
I have no illusions the DVD KIOSK market will be around til I die.
It doesn't have to be, to make me happy. I'd be happy for 5 solid years. The numbers are THAT good.
The upfront is low, the ongoing is ridiculously low, compared to when I was in the Bricks and mortar video, and it's just another revenue stream, that uses about an hour's worth of time a week for me. (From my chair...wherever that chair may be.)

It's also one of those works by itself while I'm sleeping, or elsewhere kind of things.

But you know what.... you're right again. Bad idea.........for you.
You go do something mo' betta.

I know one sure way of not getting anything at all......spend your time convincing yourself why a thing doesn't work, or won't work in the foggy future, or some other "no facts," baseless decision.
That way, you can certainly ALWAYS be right.

Love the armchair entrepreneur.
