Most of the wise old investors have sob stories to tell of their early disasters Just because you have been outted by someone else, doesn't mean that you no longer have the story to tell! Of course, some of us have more stories to tell than others!

Awwww, c'mon Mike. I can add to your stories...... Let me see, what was the name of that "revolutionary" air conditioning company? Talk about a lesson that I remember because of the pain.... But, on the other hand, I seem to remember you did quite well jumping into a company that I refused to touch because I "knew too much" about the business. ZITL (?). The one that was going to solve everybody's Y2k problems in COBOL. I remember writing long missives (that you didn't read, I was either before or after you were in the company) stating that I expected that it would be a bubble that would burst. I was right. So what does that mean? You made a bundle and I made nothing..... Siiiiiigggggghhhhhh. Anyway, just wanted to tweak your nose a bit. All in good fun since I'm just envious because I'm not retired and you are. Erick
