The Dove of the Desert !!! Excellent !!! I am heading for Phoenix in about an hour, to kibitz the local companies tomorrow. Why doesn't Dallas (with a real telecom corridor) or Las Vegas (with an equally risky Strip <G>) have a local company support group like the AZ Republic, et al ??? This, I don't know. I only know they make it easier and more transparent for me to come from Dallas, and invest in Phoenix companies, than to dig around locally (which I have done). I get all kinds of VC seminar invitations, as an angel, but NOTHING for the smaller local or even Texas public companies. So be it, as long as there are a Phoenix and an SI available. Its a short ride, and I also get to rip the velcro on another seat, to see the "Made by BEAV" label. The stewardesses hate it, because the seat never goes back down quite right. I tell them I'm just "looking for loose change", which is correct after a fashion. <G>
