Somebody linked to that this am. I couldn't get through the first couple of sentences. Have heard enough about why this time is different. <ng>

Unless this was for Bill only, I would like to throw a little bit at this pucker-behinded-mojo-playin-space freak. 1) He is speaking of technology and technology only. He started his business in satellite communications at a time when it is in demand. How great was the business when there was only one satellite (besides the gobs of government spending)? If there is any money in it, how long until it becomes commoditized and the margins fall? 2) Where does he mention consumer indebtedness? 3) What percentage of the American Population is actually benefitting from new technology? Although a new industry (the internet) has been created, what percentage of jobs are flowing into it, and please relate that to Walmart type jobs. 4) If you look at Schwab's 10q, how come their customers are losing account value in the stock market? 5) How are governments of poverty striken nations going to enable their $700 a year peasants to be able to afford access to his revolution? 6) What happened to biotechs in the 80s? 7) How long is peace going to be sustained? 8) Sattelites suck with latency time for real time applications over the internet. These are just the ones off the top of my head. I must go and steal some candy from a baby now. I might also mug an elderly person. TSF
