Hello everyone: Early last week, my family and I flew to the other side of this globe and are still struggling with the time change difference. Currently, I am typing you this message in the city of Taipei, Taiwan at around 05:00 am in the morning! The last time I was here was about 8 years ago, way before the explosion of the internet communication. I have to admit that I am very surprised and elated when I finally logged onto the internet from this side of the world. Of course, world-wide access to the internet is OLD news and we take it for granted without second thought; but it is the direct experience of actually accessing the internet from the other side of the globe that give me the WOW factor. And guess what? Except for the fact that the Windows98 I am using right now has Chinese characters all over it, the 'feeling of being homeÝis there. As I read this PNLK thread, I do NOT feel like I am on the other side of the world. As a matter of fact, I do not feel I have left you guys at all! This simple experience really hits home . The internet has NO DOUBT changed our perception of our world we live in- it is, in practical, a SMALL WORLD! I also find myself relying heavily on my internet access to find out what is going on with the world- news in English so I can read, email access so I can maintain contact with my associates and friends, and keeping myself up-to-date from informative websites (this thread is a good example). My personal experience is that the importance of internet access is as important as having a phone wherever you go. And this bring me to another important realization- once businesses start using services offer by ProNetLink, they will realize the efficiency and the convenience the services bring to them. Imagine an import/export businessman traveling around the globe. His ability to access ProNetLink services allow him/her to experience the convenience because he/she can get the necessary compliance forms, currency conversion, and locate other companies that offers what he needs while staying in the country he/she is in. This is CONVENIENCE! And for those import/export businessman who doesn't travel much, PNL services offer accessibility to information that help him/her make intelligent decisions like cost comparison, transportation requirement and costs, and financing issues. Therefore, IMHO, once businesses start using PNL, they will continue to use it and renew every year. No difference than my reliance on the convenience that the internet access brought to me even when I am on the other side of the globe. As to Malko's statement:It seems obvious that we are close to a run, probably as soon as Phase 2 is out. If it is successful, then we can expect, IMO, a great interest back on PNLK from the original crowd and from traders, and then we dont know where the limit can be because the reaction to Phase 2 could create what we expected last time, that is a huge interest from the Import Export industry etc... Not only do the marketing effort that comes afterward generate awareness of PNL services, it also generate awareness for potential INVESTORS. Every new subscriber sign up is potentially a new investor of PNLK also. Once they personally experience the convenience offers by PNL services, they may just as well want to invest in this company at such bargain stock price! Again, ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourself! Prosperity to ALL! ------------------------------------------------------------- For those who are curious. Yes, I have access the ProNetLink website from this side of the world and it looks and feels the same as when I access it from the USA!
