Now it all makes sense...I never understood what Sarkie was talking about when she said The Shark was using his coconut measuring cup. Don't eat the soup! Did you ever get the roof on your whole house, and porch? One step at a time...first hook up the telephone wire. Guess it's too much to ask if you have a TV, huh? Don't blab it all over SI about the fountain incident...that's the way we now refer to it. LOL You're right about the last time we were rich, at least on paper, that is. Oh well, who needs money to be happy, right? Wrong it may not buy happiness, but it is a lot more fun when you have it. Maybe someday we can return...Aloha!

Speaking of Go2....driving south yesterday, saw a sign that said "Go2cert"...in the same place where Freei was located (Jain "invested $5million" in that venture, I believe. Never could find if he did it personally or through INSP.. looked up the Go2cert....what a weird name....here's what I found...(this and a couple of dollars will get a cup of coffee..<g>) From the November 23, 2001 The .com after the storm lingers with this sign PSBJ Staff A new dot-com company has put its name on the Federal Way building that housed Freei Networks Inc. before its demise. But even as the change shows the resiliency of the technology business, the way it was done demonstrates the sector's new economic realities. The logo of go2cert.com, a high-tech training company, was recently installed on the upper facade of the mirrored building, where one of Freei's Freeinternet.com signs was previously attached. The spot is visible from Interstate 5, providing the company a good deal of exposure. Despite the change, a piece of Freeinternet lives on, literally. Go2cert was able to salvage several letters from the Freeinternet logo - including the ".com" - for use in its own sign. The recycled letters are a noticeably different shade of white than the new ones, something that few self-respecting dot-coms would have stood for when funding was abundant. The inside of the building also reflects the new reality. Go2cert.com occupies a portion of the building's top floor. Freei, whose legal affairs are still mired in bankruptcy, leased five floors, totaling 63,000 square feet. Several others have leased space in the building, leaving about 45,000 square feet available, said Jason Webb of CB Richard Ellis, a leasing agent for the building. Discussions are also under way with one prospective tenant that could take a large portion of the remaining space. Go2cert.com, which offers online and instructor-led software instruction, plans to move its headquarters from Everett to Federal Way, said marketing director Lee Fried. The company was founded in Everett by two former Boeing electrical engineers, T.H. Sheikh and John Sheehan. seattle.bcentral.com
