About -£2000 probably tbh.

Mr Khaled Mardam-Bey made all of his fortune by having a nose that
sounds that a rubber duck when you squeeze it

I have two reactions to this.  First, it's amazing that he/the company
can be worth over a million pounds based on an application that I
don't know anyone who has paid for.  Second, kind of sucks that the
creator of one of the most seminal applications in Internet history is
only worth a million point three.  If only he'd focused on web and not
IRC, maybe he'd be the UK Marc Andreessen.

I paid for it... some 20 years ago.

I feel I should pay for it now, too.  I mean I don't use it, and
haven't had a Windows machine for a good few years.  But I did use it
a lot in the late 90's, and got way more than $20-worth of use out of
the shareware version.
