Re: [Dev-C++] winning notification

Nope. Don't think they go for a charge number. I'd say the nice "lawyer"
wants a little fee for representing you in Amsterdam. Of course you are
willing to pay x euro since you will be able to pick up 100x as much. Ah.
Suddenly the poor "lawyer" realizes that his traveling expenses would be a
bit higher than the first estimate. So you of course want to chip up
again. And again. And again.
