To: jjs64 who wrote (1876 ) 7/31/2000 5:02:40 PM From: Michael A. Johnson Respond to of 2211 Oh, yes, I remember it well. I was in the audience in Utah the evening that the IAUS demonstration was to take place. It was a valuable learning experience that would hold me in good stead in my future investments. When I first heard about NVEI (then NVXE) a made it a point to meet with management, view its technology, and to involve my investment and scientific consultants. Only then did I buy shares. My first share purchase was at .22 (pre-split) and I continued to buy all the way down to .04. My faith in the vision and integrity of corporate management have rewarded me far beyond my early-on expectations. Today, through a lot of hard work, brilliant decisions, and some just plain old good luck, NVEI is at the cutting edge of broadband technology. And the best is yet to come. Ray Willenberg at NVEI has taken quite a different approach from that taken by Neldon Johnson at IAUS. I've met both men and seen them in action. The main difference: IAUS HOPED its technology would work, NVEI KNOWS its technology does work. And that difference will amount to many billions of dollars. I'm still on board for my part. Regards to all, even you bashers. I have fond memories of former bashers I helped dispatch (perhaps I even converted a few and helped make them wealthy in the process). A few more points up in price and you current bashers will also disappear, only to be replaced by new naysayers. Only the long term longs survive and prosper. Tells you something, doesn't it? Mike PS: Anybody interested in the history of NVEI, go back to the first SI posts on NVXE. You will find a group of us who pulled together back then when there wasn't much more than a vision to work with. Many of us are still around and may be found occasionally on the Raging Bull board.
