It was a 2600 sq ft bldg. My freind Dean was gonna lease the building they moved into but did not like the $75,000/yr rent. The general manager told me they SURVIVED the first month. they did not take apps, they just hired anyone who wanted to work.

If they are smart, they can pay for all of their capital expenditures in the first 3 weeks and be debt free from there.

scary grub.

Re Csco:
Well the computer/Web revolution is on us in full force so routers are needed.
Little things, like all the Sears appliance parts listed on the Web, the different Airline fares and bargains
listed on the web - and changing all the time. Amzn and ebay. Wireless communications by truck drivers and
monitoring of pipelins or valves. Keeping track of misdirected airline luggage(G)
There is no turning back, could not find enough people, even with high unemployment, to make expensive phone calls or keep ledgers or schedule deliveries while handling that data.
But some of the company funding plans scare me- how did LU manage to lose $4.2 bil in one quarter ?
How long will it take to earn back the loss ? I feel a bit more comfortable dealing with companies
that sell directly to the public. Financial reports on the gorillas are unreadable, indecipherable.

Krispy Kreme...
The one in San Diego has been open for about 6 months now. There are still lines every day most of the day. They are now also selling at fairs and conventions. Very smart.
Actually the doughnuts are no different than anyone else's unless you have them slightly heated, then they are the best ever.
