RE: "Prior Inventions" on employment contract

As far as I know, I think Brad did quit his day job and writes tools and
does consulting.  But, I 'll let Brad speak for himself.

Fair enough question.  Could I make a living selling these utilities?
Probably not.  I don't see Brad Stone or Bill Reger quitting their day
jobs.  If I did see a market big enough to live off my utilities, I'd go
in a minute, but I'm guessing it won't be AS/400 software.  I *do* plan
on someday getting a few of these out for public consumption, I think
there's potentially a market for them.  So, right there I think is
enough to want to protect myself.

But, even if not, as someone else mentioned, this contract could hardly
be construed as an "agreement".  Frankly, I have no benefit to gain by
signing this contract, except the right to work and "lose my mind"
(literally)!
