OT Glenn Congratulations on 32000! It'll look good on our resumes! <<gg>> You asked about Harvard. . Please don't hold that against me. I did go to Harvard B-School in the 70's! Finished in the bottom 1/3 of the class. Came out a good little socialist like most of my classmates. Went to work in NYC for Arthur Young & Co, a big 8 (back then there were 8) national CPA firm for 4 years and then returned to Little Rock where I was CFO of commercial bank for 15 years. HBS is a very different place today - very entrepreneurial. Back then all they talked about was national economic planning ala the Japanese model (MITI), Keynes and corporate socialism via government/ business cooperation. Everyone was interested in doing well by doing good. I thought I was at the West Point of Capitalism but it was more like the Peace Corp of Capitalism. Everyone wanted to be a consultant where you could start out at (gasp) $35,000 /yr. Of course it was during the 73-74 recession. I now own a software company that sells a niche product nationally to financial institutions. Funny, when I became an entrepreneur after being a corporate hyena for so long, my view of politics changed radically. I became a Libertarian in 1990 after I found out how much I was paying to keep the welfare state comfortable and how intrusive our nanny state had become. Perhaps you learned the same lesson in your jewelry business. Anyway, so much for my expanded profile . Harvard MBA...well, at least I met my wife in Boston! Ciao, Daniel
