Joe,
AMGV has added another strong link to the chain toward profitability by including Adrian G. Beline on the Board of Directors. This should open more doors for AMGV through Microsoft association and also increase their credibility in the computer industry. I'll be flying out to Colorado Springs for the shareholder meeting October 2 and my vote is for Adrian.
I plan on doing about 2 weeks backpacking in the Rockies while I'm out there. This backpacking adventure is like AMGV paying me a dividend :)
Have a good one.
John
