NEWS FLASH NEWS FLASH NEWS FLASH
THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END IN THE YEAR 2000 MAD YAK DISEASE WILL DESTROY ALL MANKIND ONLY SALVATION IS HELD BY ONE COMPANY BUT THEY WANT TO KEEP THEIR MAD YAK SERUM FROM THE WORLD POPULATION AND ESPECIALLY THE BUSINESS WORLD THAT MIGHT HAVE COMPUTERS THAT WILL ALSO BE AFFECTED BY THIS RAVAGING DISEASE. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS THIS SECRET PROGRAM AND CURRENTLY IT IS PROJECTED THAT THE COST TO SOLVE THIS DISEASE IS IN THE T AS IN TRILLION DOLLARS RANGE.

THE TEXASDUDE HAD TO DRIVE 4 HOURS YESTERDAY BECAUSE OF HEAVY STORMS IN THE DALLAS AREA CAUSING FLIGHT DELAYS AND CANCELLATIONS INTO DFW.I ARRIVED IN DALLAS JUST AS THE LUNCHEON WAS ENDING AND YES MR. SCHICK WAS THERE. I ALL FAIRNESS, HE GIVES A GOOD DELIVERY WITH HIS CASUAL DRESS AND FULL BEARD. PLEASE NOTE GOOD DELIVERY NOT SUBSTANCE UNLESS YOU BELIEVE THAT IT WILL TAKE TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO SOLVE THE Y2000 PROBLEMS AND THE FACT THAT ALL INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE TREMBLING IN THEIR BOOTS BECAUSE OF THE PENDING LAWSUITS THAT WILL RESULT FROM THIS PROBLEM.
1. ALL THE MAJOR PLAYERS(ALCY VIASOFT ETC) HAD VERY PROMINENT DISPLAYS IN THE EXHIBIT AREA OF THE HOTEL. GUESS WHICH COMPANY HAD NOT EXHIBIT IN THE EXHIBIT AREA. IF YOU GUESS MAT. YOU GET TO MOVE TO THE HEAD OF THE CLASS. WHAT THEY HAD WAS A PRIVATE ROOM AT THE FAR-END OF THE HOTEL JUST A FAR AS YOU COULD GET FROM THE AREA WHERE ALL THE OTHER COMPANIES WERE LOCATED. AT APPROXIMATELY 1:30 I WALKED DOWN TO THIS SECRET AND PRIVATE ROOM AT NOT A SOUL(EVEN THE NORMAL COCKROACHES HAD VACATED THE AREA) WAS THERE. NO SALESPERSON NO CUSTOMER NO BROCHURES
I THEN WENT INTO THE EXHIBIT AREA AND ALL OF THE ATTENDEES FOR THE CONFERENCE WERE THERE. EACH BOOTH WAS STAFFED WITH SALEPEOPLE AND TECHNICAL STAFF "PROMOTING THEIR PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS". ON THE POSTING OF EXHIBITS AS YOU ENTERED INTO THE EXHIBIT AREA WAS A COMPLETE LISTING OF EXHIBITORS AND NOWHERE WAS Z/MAT SHOWN.
2. CORPORATE AMERICA MUST NOT BE CONCERNED WITH THIS PROBLEMS BECAUSE THERE WERE A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF ATTENDEES AT THE CONFERENCE. I WOULD GUESS THAT I SAW NO MORE THAN 100-150 PEOPLE THERE AND I ASSUME THAT A GOOD NUMBER WERE EXHIBITORS.(PLEASE NOTE THE WEATHER WAS HORRIBLE AND MAJOR STREET FLOODING GOING ON AT THE TIME)
3. FROM THE AGENDA THAT WAS LISTED HERE ON SI INDICATED THAT MAT. WAS CONDUCTING A BREAKOUT SESSION AT 3:00 P.M.. SUCH A SESSION BY MAT. WAS NOT ON THE OFFICIAL AGENDA POSTED AT THE CONFERENCE.
4. BEING A TEXASDUDE THAT WILL TALK TO ANYONE GUESS WHO I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH BUT NONE OTHER THAN K. SCHICK AND I POINT BLANK ASKED HIM TWICE WHO WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM LIKE IN NAMING A COMPANY AND HE NEVER USED THE WORDS ZITEL/MAT.(IN ALL FAIRNESS TO MR. SCHICK, I ENJOYED MY CONVERSATION WITH HIM BUT AS STATED NOTHING SUBSTIVE WAS GIVEN AS TO WHO COULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM(I WILL BE VAGUE AS TO THE NATURE OF MY CONVERSATION FOR GOOD REASONS THAT I WILL POST LATER)

I IMMEDIATELY LEFT THE CONFERENCE AND BOUGHT MORE PUTS. WHY CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN TO ME THAT AT SUCH A CONFERENCE WOULD A COMPANY AVOID THE EXHIBIT AREA WHERE ALL THE OTHER COMPANIES IN A VERY OPEN WAY AND WITH SALESPEOPLE AND TECHNICAL PEOPLE SELLING THEIR PRODUCTS AND YOU WOULD HAVE A SECRET ROOM AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE REQUIRING PROSPECTIVE CUSTOMER TO HAVE TO SEEK YOU OUT. WHY WHY WHY IS YOUR PRODUCT SO GOOD THAT YOU HAVE TO HIDE IT AND ALLOW THE WORLD TO BE DESTROYED BY MAD YAK DISEASE?
