from an audio engineer (sound design) /composers perspective it could vary allot but assuming you start with the bare miminum (nothing pirated) and your composer has little : - sound libraries for DAW compositions : depending on your need and budget this could take up between 100 +- 2000+ dollars.

There were a lot of masterminds,…
I'd say it would be logical to take the salary you had inhouse and then divide it by 168 hours which is an average per month. Then if you work from home add a bit for your rent, for an eventual hardware update, for electricy and stuff and you should pretty much have your number. But be carefull. There actually are great…
heheh XDDD You can still play with Legos, they are not a toy for kids exclusively. Brickcon started some days ago, and being a lego fan i always look at photos. Guys in this flickr album from last year are not kids: http://flickr.com/photos/dunechaser/sets/72157600044861822/ So, we can enjoy as kids being adults. BTW, toys…
