Let us keep the game going as long as you want Drakes. As I said 20 million sales just for BT. Better than 40% margin. With other sources of rev this will mean about breakeven conservatively. That is barring any additional deals. We do not need them but it would be great if we got them. How 'bout AOL. That investment of yours is just a joke. Shorting race at 7 was a joke (let alone your 5 and 1/2 suggestion). At this time your shorts are a joke and your longs are a joke... LOL The internet will not become a business mainstream solution anytime soon. Well known names are rolling out because they do not want to be left out in the future. The reason why is extremely simple: it is NOT dependable. What happens if there is trouble? Who you gonna call? Have you heard of W3C? I hear Lee-Berners does not even have the time to deal with companies only with his vision. If it is free it is public and nobody is assuming responsibility for whatever can and does go wrong, otherwise there are fees. It is that simple. Sure it has business uses but it can not be the backbone of remote access at this time. End of story. I can just picture Ben Barker cringing when he reads your harping as if he were unaware of the issues involved. Come now there is no reason for you to stretch your credibility like that. It makes you look real bad. Hey did you see the clever use of LOL! I do not take credit for it. It is a Drakes' witticism. I hope you do not mind my using it. Thanks
