That's.038% of his net worth, which according to Forbes is 1.3BIL.
I'll bet most people have given far over that percentage to charity, on an annual basis.
Wow, that really brings back the memories. In the early 80's, in the bay area, I ran a BBS called -=Tiger's Grotto=-. I even remember the number! 415-329-0159. I ran it off an Apple II clone, a Franklin Ace 1000, seven floppy drives, and a Hayes 300baud micromodem. The system was called apple-net by John Pechachek. Eventually, I found a used Corvus 10MB external hard drive and a thundercard to tell time. Otherwise, users didn't have any time restriction. The Corvus drive was about the size of a large size XT box, and was really loud. Like an obnoxious turbine. I even advertised in the local BYTE magazine and to my amazement, people actually dialed it. Great fun.
I remember a couple other BBS's in the bay area; The White House, and Pirates Bay. Pyroto Mountain was another favorite.
Hopefully it was, "Hello, My name is Michell O. You're uncle just died and we've been trying to let you know that the estate is almost out of probate."
That's the beautiful thing about living in the desert, we're equipped for hot temperatures. So if it gets a little bit hotter, so what. Our plants, houses, and infrastructure are ready for it. When it happens in other, more mild climates, they will have a HARD time adapting.

Oh sure, that's how you'll explain it to your wife!
