Bill Gates, Andy Grove, and Jerry Sanders (CEOs of MicroSoft, Intel, and AMD), were in a high-powered business meeting. During the serious, tense discussions, a beeping noise suddenly is emitted from where Bill is sitting. Bill says, "Oh, that's my emergency beeper. Gentlemen, excuse me, I really need to take this call. "So Bill lifts his wristwatch to his ear and begins talking into the end of his tie.After completing this call, he notices the others are staring at him. Bill explains, "Oh, this is my new emergency communication system. I have an earpiece built into my watch and a microphone sewn into the end of my tie. That way, I can a take a call anywhere. "The others nod, and the meeting continues. Five minutes later, the discussion is again interrupted when Andy starts beeping.He also states, "Oh, that is my emergency beeper. Excuse me, gentlemen, this must be an important call."So Andy taps his earlobe and begins talking into thin air.When he completes his call, he notices the others staring at him and explains, "I also have an emergency communication system. But my earpiece is actually implanted in my earlobe, and the microphone is actually embedded in this fake tooth. Isn't that neat?" The others nod, and the meeting continues. Five minutes later, the discussion is again interrupted when Jerry emits a thunderous fart. He looks up at the others staring at him and says, "Uhh, somebody get me a piece of paper... I'm receiving a fax."

VinWood, It doesn't take an astute business man to make lots of money. A fraudulent, con artist who can find lots of suckers to follow him can make tons on money. Of course one might call him astute because he has been able to prey on the ignorant. Astute and Sanders are like virgin and Clinton. BTW, I keep score on how astute a business man is by how successful his business is, not by his personal wealth. Take a look at this comparison: exchange2000.com Andy, Craig, and co. have increased shareholder value by 497% over the last 5 years. During the same time, Jerry the "astute" business man has helped his business return -12% to his shareholders. This is absolutely incredible given that there has been an explosion in the technology industry during the last 5 years. How many "astute" business men have failed to prosper in this environment? FF
