Now that is VERY interesting. Isn't it true that you were following high-tech enterprises back in the early 1990s, maybe 1980s, and of course that was the great time to be doing that? Now you are into gold. I unfortunately dropped my high-tech interests back then partly because I was too busy making a basic living but also because I had hardly anyone to discuss it with and when I brought it up people would look at me as if I was crazy. At one point I had a big position in Symbol Technologies who were in the process of inventing bar code scanning. I had a friend at IBM who would take over the phone when I called his wife and give me endless reasons why Symbol Technologies was not going to go anywhere. I figured he knew the business, so I sold it at a small profit. The same guy gave me some suggestions that went nowhere at all and pooh-poohed any ideas of mine. Anyway, since I am very heavily into gold, and especially into NGD, I find it encouraging to hear that gold mining is where you seem to be.
