From today's Denver Post -- examples for a follow-up to Ztec's and my posts from yesterday: denverpost.com >>>June 14 - Aside from his wife, his assistant and his Frisbee-catching border collie Jake, there aren't many distractions at Gary Burandt's remote mountain home in Gilpin County. That's a distinct plus for an executive running a $2.4 billion international advertising agency network with 98 offices in 50 countries. Especially when the entire worldwide operation is coordinated from Burandt's basement office, where a plastic-covered pool table serves as an impromptu desk, right next to where the panting Jake is sprawled on the carpet after a vigorous morning bout of fetch. Welcome to the high-powered world of international business, Colorado style. In growing numbers, entrepreneurs of international commerce are choosing to ply their trade in what they see as an increasingly cosmopolitan Colorado. Colorado's quality of life has played a major role in the international trend, as have technology that allows offices to operate anywhere a phone line or cell signal can reach and the state's growing sense of internationalism. ........ >>>>.......Burandt and wife Harriet "Freddye'' Krumrey, a children's-book author, bought their 27-acre Rollinsville home in 1993 as a vacation retreat. By 1996, Burandt had become tired of constant travel in Asia and left Dentsu Y&R, cashing in his stock holdings. The couple then moved full time to the mountain home. When the opportunity to run ICOM came along early this year, Burandt had only one concern: whether he could get enough telephone lines to operate phones, faxes and modems to serve 50 foreign countries. He now has four phone lines, generating monthly bills of more than $800. "It's the perfect job and we've got the perfect location,'' he said. "I'm only 30 minutes from Boulder and an hour and 15 minutes from the airport. The key is telecommunications.'' Morgan Smith, director of the Colorado International Trade Office, said Burandt is a example of an international entrepreneur who has found success in a market that can be tough to crack. "It's not all that easy for people to find work in their fields in Colorado,'' he said. "The growth we've seen in exports and investment has not been paralleled by job opportunities in international business.'' Said Reis of the World Trade Center Association: "For internationalists, there's great opportunity here, but you have to have international connections. People coming here thinking they can make a living on Denver clientele are probably going to starve.'' ....... <<<<<

I thought I would share a conversation that I had today with the person that manages the account that holds my PNLK portion. The last time we referred to PNLK, he said that approximately 75% of the original investors in this stock had bailed out. There are fewer remaining today. I told him of the positive comments, and progress that was being accomplished. He smiled. He said he rather draw to an inside straight. He said there are skeletons of BB issues strewn about history that had visions of gold and glory. Inside straight? I've done that. Are we really just fooling ourselves? Are you, that are computer literate, seeing genuine progress? To be completely honest, I have decided to ride this horse till it falls. Idaho Pete
