>>My new mission --- how do we make NOVL into a AMZN for a week Look I'll settle for a run like EGRP on the day it went from 76 to 104 in an hour. There must be some way that we can convince all of these online investors that the momentum is shifting toward investing in NOVL --- now today, this minute!!!>> Paul: Let's not get too excited. EGRP and Amazon are all fluff. We have a bunch of Wizards of Oz's competing behind curtains. The world thinks they are the "next world brands". In a world where the individual - NOT EGRP - is in total control, the power behind traditional branding gets arbitraged lower. Jeff Bezos at Amazon is trying to build the "next brand" on the trust of individuals who go to his site. Face to face trust will beat out Amazon any day of the week. NDS's architecture can locate, mine, channel, secure and lock in the who/what/when/where/how/why of the individual in a server-centric environment better than anything else in the world today. NDS developers. Take ownership and take charge!!!! You have an unbelievable opportunity to "go high" on Gates and NT. Suck all the individual cross platform data about individuals right into these directories that will be the drivers of everything going forward. Automation will take over this server-centric computing model. The PC model still requires individual user hunting, pecking, playing around, searching, getting frustrated, etc. NDS technology combined with these SmartBots can free individuals to do more with less. Lucent, Nortell and others know that NDS CAN become the new switchboard for an e-commerce world. Go high everyone!!! How'd I do Paul??
