Tommy, please tell Jay he's not alone not understanding Gilder. I try to read his articles in Forbes ASAP magazine and have trouble. And I'm an EE. He has a language all his own. Gottfried

Tom I will ask my ex-worker cohort if he went to that conference. If he went, I will get the skinny and turn his comments into investor english. We use to go to a lot of the future tech conference. We needed it for work reasons but it never hurt our portfolio. Hardline
