Amy, RE: "E-Commerce isn't a proven business model." Spring, 1998. [Anonymous VC] It is an arguable point that it still isn't a proven business model. <g>

Hi Amy, OT or is it? Re "If They Only Knew..." I've had a similar list to remind me how wrong we can be at any given time. Over time, we usually sort things out ;) The Risk Takers and the Prudent are a good mix (not speaking of the foolish and the scaredy-cats!) When my son was doing his own thing and had detractors he kept Edison's experience as his guideline, something to the effect that I haven't found what I'm looking for, but I've found more than 10,000 things that won't work. With that outlook, you learn to value your mistakes, learn a lot from them and are unafraid to make more of them ;) The adopted philosophy has served him well. Thanks for sharing. dmf BTW When I give my son the worrier's (prudent one's!) inevitable lines from time to time, I WARN him that I'm doing the "Mom Thing" and that I trust him to make good decisions. I appreciate his turning to me and listening even when we know there are basic differences. Everyone plays his/her part <vbg>. And I enjoy the leaps he takes that I never did!
