**VIDEOPHONE**: This past Monday afternoon, I was driving west on the Long Island Expressway, having just returned from Hartford, Connecticut via the Long Island Sound Ferry and decided I would stop at the PanAm offices in Hauppauge, uninvited and unannounced. Glad I did as I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. John Schmitz, a personable and intelligent gentleman.
We looked at the videophone which appears well built; its compact size allows it to fold up, yet it has much the same functionality as laptop computers I have seen.
For the skeptical, I did not and refused to pepper him with a series of questions about the speculation and hype of our developing company. Rather, his unspoken confident manner impressed me that he has the requisite business decorum that will allow him to make this a successful company in both the USA and challenging international marketplaces.
We also shared a few laughs about the phenomena of the Internet Bulletin Boards. Your CEO laughed at the arguements that go on here, particularly when the bashers "bash" because "the news wasn't released"; he commented that he doesn't publish a separate press release to alert the masses that there will be an imminent press release about the company. It was a very pleasant meeting
(Personally, I picture many of the bashers and hypsters as sitting at home in their boxer shorts, eating jelly doughnuts and chasing them down by drinking warm Old Milwaukee!).
