Actually, the maximum is $105MM.

Employee option grants don't count. However, if they exercise and tern them into actual stock units, I believe they do count.

Turns out the JOBS Act specifically exempts employee stock plan recipients from the 500 (or 2000) shareholder count.

I use the cmd qwerty mode and program just fine.

In terms of vim, I actually like it a lot more. j and k are typed with the left hand (coincidentally j is still on the left side - same as qwerty). The right hand does h and l (again, h is on the left side and maps to going left).

On the other hand, Eclipse is super annoying because it seems half the bindings are cmd qwerty and half are dvorak but that's another issue. I've started using Vrapper to get vim bindings in eclipse and that seems to be working out okay so far.
