Hi Sharon.
Thanks to you, Annette, Mark, Dorine, etc., I think I have a good feel for what was said.

<<As we were warned, he is a pretty boring guy. >>
Hey, no "spade calling a spade" stuff here- I want spin! Say he was "calm, reserved, confident, perhaps a bit mellow". <VBG>

<<I would expect a year down the road to see similair revs to this years Ebay and Amzn. >>

I don't want you to be set up for a fall- there's no way EGGS will come close to doing $250M next year in Q3 like AMZN just posted. But that's not necessary, either. It's all about expectations and keeping them realistic.

All IMHO,
Anaxagoras

Three points:
1.He is old
2.His retail stores failed.
3. He is no Steve Jobs or Michael Dell

Three strikes...hard to dig out from that...

They should have had the Einstein Egg guy do zee interview, yah?
