Look, bud. I have been involved in the computer industry since the early 1970s. I have several degrees in electronical and electrical engineering and computer science. I have owned my own application development company and been in charge of application development of a high powered company and won several national awards. And yes, I have been involved with microcomputers since 1978. In addition, I have had round table meetings with William Lowe, Bob Metcalfe, and Billy boy back in the early 1980s just when the IBM PC Model A was about to be released and EtherNet was just an idea coming out of Palo Alto Xerox Research park. In fact, some of our discussions were in make shift trailer houses as most people back then considered us as playing with toys. Did you know that IBM prayed that they would sell 50,000 PCs back then just so that they could break even? Now, I could go on and on about the industry, where I have been and what I have done. I have given seminars and have had countless of people come to me to take them under my wing. But, in doing so would take a long time and more than I feel is necessary to share. Ok, so, if you think I have come to the wrong forum to discuss this industry, I suggest you find out who you are talking to before making any allegations. I tend to think an apology is in order. But, considering how this thread has become, I suspect that won't happen. Once again, and I stress, we are not here to flame each other and poke, we are here to discuss stocks. If you, or anybody else feels the need to do just the opposite should consider moving to a location where people welcome that. Kevin
