Dear Bill:
Do not blame yourself and no one is 100% correct. I was out of CPU a couple month ago after I visited a local CPU store. I had same impression as Hank did.
Keep the good work.

Company Press Release
MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor Presents
with President Clinton and VP Gore to
Kick-Off 1999 Families First Agenda
VIENNA, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 4, 1999--MicroStrategy®
Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR - news), a leading worldwide provider of
mission-critical decision support systems, today announced that its CEO, Michael J. Saylor, was selected to present at
a joint Democratic Caucus promoting the 1999 ''Family First Agenda.'' Other speakers at the event, which was
attended by nearly all House Democrats and Cabinet members, included Vice President Gore, Senate Democratic
Leader Tom Daschle, and House Democratic Leader Richard Gephardt. Michael Saylor was one of three ''Real
Americans'' chosen to share their personal success stories. In his speech from the Library of Congress yesterday,
Saylor explained how the strong economy allowed him to develop a successful, publicly traded software company.
''Michael Saylor and the success of MicroStrategy present a very inspiring story for people throughout our country,''
said Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle from South Dakota. ''Michael is proof that with the right economy and a
willingness to dedicate yourself to long-term goals, success can be obtained by millions of Americans.''
In his speech Saylor highlighted the great contribution that MicroStrategy has been able to make in terms of job
growth and career development for more than 1000 employees, as well as technical advances for society. ''I am
honored to be here today, and want to encourage all of you to support strong economic policies that control interest
rates, stimulate growth, and create opportunities for people like me,'' commented Saylor.
Saylor's speech focused on ''Universal Intelligence,'' a vision which is critical to the current success of MicroStrategy.
He envisions a world where people will be able to receive answers to their most crucial questions wherever, whenever,
and however they want. This vision has led to the acceptance of MicroStrategy's intelligence platform across major
industries throughout the world, as organizations first utilized the world wide web and now are utilizing common
consumer devices to analyze and distribute critical information.
