My personal Top 3, Companies moving in the right directionDELL Computers I am openly supporting Michael Dell, not only his company and his products but especially because we need his way of thinking more than ever before. Forbes sees 'leadership crisis' in year 2000 problemfoxnews.com Michael Dell is a genius, a leader I believe in and is capable to think beyond boundaries . He is showing us for years now that he is always way in front of the pack. He has become Wallstreets darling because he is making the right priorities;Adding value first instead of money first Partnership instead of competition ,Honesty instead of making money on the back of American people who bought MSFT-products and shares (Paul Allen)Message 4527408 ,Quality instead of good marketing (Dell vs MSFT)Sharing information instead of hiding it (PHG, NO comments on our Y2k-efforts, source Computable, Holland))Integrity instead of greed (J. Cramer)TAVA Technologies They are the company that is front-runner in beating the "embedded-software"-monster. They are (one of the) reasons GM tenfolded their Y2k-budget, from $50 to $500 million They are (one of the) reasons Unilever raised their budget from $150 mil. to $500 million.They are the only company in the world that can help save and protect the live of the only woman I really loved in my life. She is living in Rotterdam very close to a very wide area full of chemical plants. And I have lots of reasons to doubt that our government and blue-companies like Unilever, Royal Dutch, Van Ommeren, AKZO, DSM are no longer in control of this problem. Or even aware it is.

I will never forget that so many of your your brothers, fathers, grand-fathers were willing to give their lives for one of the most important things in life "the freedom of speech". I owe them to use this freedom of speech Paul
