OK, NextNextBigThing.com is IT!!

Let's divide up chores. I want the fab. It only has to impress the analysts and investment bankers. I can setup some deposition chambers (diffusion pumped, cheap!) with some ancient sputter guns running argon (purple) and helium (green) that look really cool. I also know where I can get a cheap 248 nm laser for pulsed laser deposition, it looks REALLY cool! For the "clean" room I can probably get used HEPA filters for a song <g>. We'll need lots of bunny suits and white lab coats. A few of those old IBM spooling tape drives in the background for effect <g>. And of course lot's of blinking LEDs of all colors (thread tie-in <gg>). We'll need lots of spray paint, it does wonders on antique equipment.

We'll need a super slick website. I can do the job op page to fool people like me. Will can you do the financial data pages? We'll also need to hack into the Yahoo database (THIS IS A JOKE!) and line up some Gumby analysts.

We'll have to swipe some cutting edge product from beta test sites and ship it to some industry rag "evaluation" comparison.

Oh, and we would need to hire some actors for the CEO, COO, CFO, and various marketing spots. We could pump them full of neat buzz words like bandwidth, paradigm, key milestones, etc.

I figure we would pull it off for a million or so, put 10M shares out at $11, and buy an island somewhere.
