>>Software entertainment, on the other hand, is an industry at the highest growth part of its life cycle.<< Thanks for this insight. I will pass it on to my older son. He is a total nut about video games, and I am trying to get him interested in interning for one of the local companies that develop these games.

Zonder, you totally misunderstood my question. I have my own brokerage, and investment advisor, and wasn't asking your advice on anything related to a specific investment. You also seem to have a 'chip' added to your writing style....I wonder why....? But rather, in general, for everyone's benefit, it would be interesting for us to see what you, being in the business, think are up and coming areas of growth, both in Europe and the United States. You have evaded my question about Europe and the growth business there. Or is it software games? For instance, we have come a LONG way since 1980 with the advent of Microsoft. Look at all the business that has changed, new business'es added because of just this one company. In Seattle, in 1980, we had very few National Headquarter's here. Mostly had regional and district offices, with Weyerhaeuser, Simpson Timber, Nordstrom (before it went Regional and then National), Boeing. Now we have Microsoft, Boeing (although the Hdq is now in IL), Nordstrom, Starbucks, Costco, many biotech firms created from software capital investment, and ever so many other smaller companies who call the NW home. I know....have been a Recruiter for years, and helped many companies find those needed new employees. I have often said that IF we don't have technology for growth, what DO we have????
