ROTFLMAO!
Some DD questions about AccessTel...
Hi again. Just looking into this interesting company. Can someone explain why the symbol is SHPS?
And how does this Shopss.com fit in?
I am told on my browser that shopss.com does not exist.
Having held WLGS for two years now (I am the Chairman of the WLGS Board here at IHub), I KNOW the potential for wireless. Please help me learn more about AccessTel. TIA!

Hello from the WLGS Board.....
Is there anyone here that also owns WLGS?
Food for thought....
Here is the link to a post I just made on the WIRL board at RB where Porsche resides. Nostrajamus had asked why the volume had been 'higher' for FOUR DAYS PRIOR to the $50Million Funding Press Release...
http://ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=WIRL&read=3611
That's just ONE of my current thoughts. Here's another. Let's just suppose, for the sake of hopefulness, that Mr. Haffer intentionally placed this "MASKED" inconclusive Press Release about the funding specifically knowing that the REAL PRICE SPIKE would happen only when the SB2 is filed publicly giving all the 'specifics' of the funding.
Why might he do this in this fashion, you ask?
Well, I'd like to believe that it was a subliminal message to those true long term believers in WLGS to have a chance to sink their teeth into as many shares as possible before the BIG RUN that eventually will happen once the next SB2 is filed.
I'm thinking we'll see that SB2 on Monday (gut feeling).
And then there's the fact that just today my boss told me that the company controller says that the books show a paycheck of mine from LAST FALL that had NEVER been cashed! Goody for ME! That one paycheck can allow me to buy more WLGS and bring my average down from 1.60 to 1.20 per share!!!
Then there's that little problem that I need to replace the engine in my car since blowing a rod through the core the other day.
Decisions! Decisions!
Keep asking the boss to allow me to drive the company truck and be a Millionaire faster, or use that surprise paycheck to pay for the new engine??
Gosh, this is tough.....LOLOL!
Mike, Go.com mail is working ok for me, right now.
Slow as usual, but working. Keep trying.
Hey, why is that wav called webtv.wav ???
I resemble that remark!
http://www.favewavs.com/grabbag/webtv.wav
On another note, since there technically no longer is a Disney Internet Group (as a trading symbol), let's leave this board under the symbol DIG, but instead of Go.Com let's call it
DISgusted Infoseek Groupies !!!
Anyone with any other idears?
Bruce, IMHO, we'll have a date, either this week, or next.
Post 1403 was removed!
What'd it say? What'd it sayyyy?
Good feelings.......
BAD FEELINGS!
Sorry gang! Although I am elated over the PR today, as Murphy's Law would have it, another stock I own, Disney Internet Group (DIG), which operates under the GO.COM name, parent DISNEY today announced that Go.COM would be closed down and Disney Internet Group tracking stock would be folded back into Disney Stock as of March 20, 2001.
DIG Shareholders will get one share of DIS stock for EVERY FIVE SHARES of DIG.
So, essentially, Disney is 'removing' itself as a pure Internet Play. This bums me as an investor who originally bought Infoseek(SEEK) stock many years ago...per Yahoo and Amazon Days.....I watched SEEK grow...watched Disney buy 72% of it, turn it into GO.COM....then change its' format to a leisure and entertainment portal, and then today SWALLOW IT ALL UP.
I'll likely sell my DIG shares for more WLGS!!!
Just wanted to let you all know that I am happy about WLGS's news, but bad news always overrides the good stuff.
GO WLGS!!!!!!
Blair, sorry, but that 20% is NO GIFT!
It was part of the original Incorporation of Go.com.
And accepting 20% premium shares on a stock that hasn't barely budged over the last three years is not my idea of a WIN!
I remember Mr. Eisner's recent letter to the shareholders about how Disney was like a FIVE CYLINDER vehicle, and that the sluggish one was Disney Internet Group. He commented about how that cylinder was GOing to be fixed. He fixed it allright. He took it out.
DUH.
A thought to Mr. Eisner....
I posted this same thought to Harry Motro when we learned that Infoseek was to be sold to Disney totally.
Now, I offer it to Mr. Eisner as well....
Should I ever meet him in person, here is what I want to say.......
http://www.tedpavlic.com/mid/tylenol.wav
A final goodbye to INFOSEEK.....
Yes, it's over.
Call it a day.
Sorry that it had to
End this way.
So, it's a final farewell to all that we SEEKERS once desired. I will always remember the great fun it was to assist Patricko, and swards, and Steve Kirsch in helping to create what are still the very greatest Message Boards system on the Internet today.
We had so much fun together back then...at the BEGINNING of Go.com.
I used to have the greatest fun posting links to soundwavs and midifiles about our 'trials and tribulations', all the time wanting to see Go.com become what Infoseek ORIGINALLY intended, BEFORE Disney got so involved.
What a sad fiasco it all became.
And now Disney even says that they want to SELL INFOSEEK!
Anybody here interested in a GROUP BUYOUT of the Infoseek assets?
If nobody buys it soon, it will be sold off as equipment at disneyauctions.ebay.com
Pathetic.
Well, I hope you don't mind a little sentiment as I provide a link to say my goodbyes to Infoseek...
http://www.tedpavlic.com/mid/Babe.mid
DIS 455 for me to break even!
That'll be a cold day in *ell!
Well, guess I can officially chock this up as the worst investment nightmare of my life.
And ironic as it is, it happens the same day that WLGS announces new $50Million Financing Package and the stock surges over 54% today on the news.
DIS or WLGS? DIS or WLGS? What do you think?
Anybody have any hot tips to share?
Might as well keep this board going at least for that, no?
Here are the two CURRENT Institutional Holders...
Not sure if it is one of them, or some other...

America Online of the Philippines....
Here it is....
http://www.philonline.com.ph/
Click through the links on the site. All in all it appears that the Philippines is very Tech Savvy. I'm impressed!
Interesting note: Did everyone notice that the Press Release about the Philippines used the wording "MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING" instead of "LETTER OF INTENT"?
I don't believe I have ever seen that type of wording before. Leave it to Mr. Haffer and company to create more effective wording should the proposed deal falter. Good job, IMHO!
Here's to hoping that the Philippines Government is more friendly toward foreign investment! Have a great day, all.
My first comment about the Philippines....
Still researching what the Philippines have to offer us as investors, but I wanted to share with you all this humurous MPEG Link from one to the Philippines MOST POPULAR Websites.....
The Philippines is Internet Savvy and WLGS is wise to go there....
Enjoy....

Investor Strength in Shares Held...
It has been quite some time since we tallied just how many shares of the outstanding 24Million shares in the float of WLGS that we collectively hold as a group.
I ask all readers of this board to please either post the number of shares they currently hold on this board, or to email me at dpb5@webtv.net with the information.
I will tally the info, and post it on this board WITHOUT revealing individual nics and number of shares held.
Let's see just what percentage we as a posting group control.
dpb5
Damien, I think you are right...
I will send my results to everyone on ChairMail and ask your opinions once I get the info...
For myself, I am not fascinated with it at all.
I want to find out merely to post on RB to shut pjm01 up.
A friendly reminder....
One of the greatest features of InvestorsHub is the ChairMail feature.
As Chairman of this board, I am currently sending Chairmails to 35 investors in WLGS.
As impressing as that is, I know that I sent the link to this board to over 100 investors who have requested it to date.
Not EVERYTHING I have to say about WLGS will be posted on this very publicly accessible board, and at times I have been known to share the thoughts of other investors only via ChairMail.
If you would like to be part of a 'less public' conversation regarding WLGS, I urge you to join Chairmail, today!
Meme, I just joined ChairMail!
Do you send out ChairMail?
I have 35 investors signed up for ChairMail here on the IHUB WLGS board.
I try to send them SOMETHING once a day.
It can be OFF TOPIC....it's just plain FUN!
yannisk, I noticed that, too!
Same thing happened to me. I thought I was visiting the Twilight Zone!
But let's not get our hopes up, YET!

Dear Raging Bull,
Regarding the WLGS Board...
The Vice President of WLGS, Wayne Caldwell, passed away on January 16,
2001.
Since then there has been a poster by the name of pjm01 who has been continuously questioning why WLGS did not issue a Press Release stating the CAUSE OF DEATH.
Many posters have tried to assure pjm01 that it is not a requirement of WLGS to disclose that info.
HOWEVER, the real reason for my writing you is that several on the board feel that pjm01 has violated Raging Bull's Terms of Service by invoking "INVASION OF PRIVACY" in the death of Mr. Caldwell of WLGS.
I urge you to look more deeply into this matter and to read the recent post of a fellow WLGS investor which I include here.
Please live up to your Quality Service Pledge.

Did it work?
I'd appreciate any of you letting me know if my link to SEARCH via INFOSEEK at WebTV actually WORKED for NON WebTV users...
http://www.go.com/Titles?webtv=true&col=WW&sv=W3&qt=Disney%20Internet%20Group
Webtv/Infoseek Test....
I don't know if you can view this, or not, but here is a link I want you all to try.
Infoseek has been the Search Engine on my WEBTV practically since "there has been DIRT!"
Infoseek, as a SEARCH ENGINE, still EXISTS!
On my WebTV, I searched Disney Internet Group, and here are the results!!!!!......
Interestingly, it links to GO.COM instead of Infoseek!
http://www.go.com/Titles?webtv=true&col=WW&sv=W3&qt=Disney%20Internet%20Group
Infoseek IS alive AND well!!
This might sound surprising to some of you, but it IS!
The Infoseek Brand Name has never died. All that happened is that Disney Internet Group tucked it up tightly on a shelf somewhere...hardly to be seen prominently anywhere on the Internet anymore. But it's out there!
Here's the hidden link........
(After that, check my next post to see where INFOSEEK still holds prominent SEARCH functions on the internet......)
http://search.go.com/SearchOnly/about.html
Threejack, couldn't agree MORE!
That has been a FOREVER problem with SEEK/GO/DIS...
It seems that all branches are "on their own". Nobody has ever truly attempted to get their (remember this ole Internet word...??) SYNERGIES together!!
It seems that Eisner and Bornstein are happy to add up the results of ALL the individual components of DIG up, and smile.
WHEN? When will they get HALF A CLUE as to what TOTAL MARKETING they need to achieve in order to reach their (and OUR) goals!
Even lost little INFOSEEK gets barely a recognition. But it still is alive and well....
SEE NEXT POST!
Gary, not a problem....
Just go back to the link, which I am supplying here....
Wait for the page to load fully, then just underneath the letters (WLGS) you will see ....

Douglas Haffer in India today....
Today, Doug is in India, continuing to build the Company Vision of becoming a Global Wireless Company.
I just relistened to the interview of Doug's on otcnetstocks.com
We actually talk very little about the entire vision Doug holds for this company....
Did you know???......
WLGS has been acquiring MMDS frequencies for over 8 YEARS now?
WLGS recognizes that the domestic spectrum (over the long term) will be of minimal signifigance to the international spectrum?
WLGS intends to develop the DWCPS Patent to benefit BOTH the telephony as WELL as the Internet industries?
WLGS realizes that the ultimate necessary goal of the company is to become a Fully Wireless Company, delivering Data, Video, Telephony SERVICE, and ALSO be a Provider in INTERNET CONTENT?
Of course, revenue generation and funding remain vitally important to achieve these goals. I hope that Doug's trip to India and South America this week deliver a quickening of potential to shareholder value.
If you never listened to the interview before, or if you need to reassure yourself just why you invested in WLGS, I urge all to listen to the link provided here.
Doug Haffer and Company have delivered everything possible and more to date on this vision. It seems that the biggest hurdle to overcome is the bureaucratic delay in licensing approvals globally as well as domestically.
My entire belief in WLGS rests on the theory that the entire planet is on the very verge of an ENTIRELY NEW GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS PARADIGM SHIFT!
Once governmental hurdles are overcome the growth of WLGS will be nearly unstoppable, IMHO!
The interview is approximately 35 minutes long, but well worth the time.....

OT: In Memory of Wayne Caldwell
I just wanted to share with you all some words from the President and CEO of another company I own stock in (WLGS--World Wide Wireless Communications).
Tragically, the WLGS Vice President and Counsel passed away the other day and this is what Mr. Haffer posted on the Company Website......
---------------
In Memory of Wayne Caldwell
It is with a profound sense of sorrow and loss that World Wide Wireless Communications announces the death of Wayne Caldwell, its Vice President and counsel. We offer our sincere condolences to his family and other friends. Wayne's sudden passing on January 16th has left those of us at the Company numb with grief. Because, although Wayne was the Company's in-house counsel and was the Company's Vice President, he was much more. He was a friend to all of us, a stable force in an often hectic and frantic environment, a trusted adviser, confidant, and friend. His loss devastates us all, leaving a void that will never be fully filled.
On a personal note, I have known Wayne for over twenty-five years. Early in my legal career, in my second job after a stint at San Francisco Neighborhood Legal Assistance Foundation, I joined a law firm where Wayne had recently gone to work straight out of the law school. We collaborated on a number of cases and immediately it was apparent to me that Wayne not only was the consummate attorney - passionate, articulate, and thorough- but was also a person of unquestioned honesty and integrity. In cases we worked on together we were the perfect point/counterpoint. He was the detail man, the person I could always count upon to do the extra bit of research, to work the extra several hours, to cover all the possibilities, and to assure that our preparation was complete. After I left that firm, Wayne stayed on - in fact he stayed on until just a year and a half ago. We kept in contact, we met and talked about our lives and I always held out hope that some say he and I would be able to work together again.
In the fall of 1999 I invited Wayne to the open-house for the Company's new offices in San Francisco. We talked at length about the vision of World Wide Wireless Communications, its potential and its risks. I offered him the position of in-house counsel without any real expectation that he would accept it. To my great surprise and delight he did, giving up job security and taking a significant reduction in salary to participate in the efforts to build the Company and to implement its vision. From the first day on the job, Wayne did not disappoint. He was a quick learner, absorbing knowledge about the telecommunications industry in general, and the wireless Internet industry in particular with remarkable skill and speed. He quickly joined in our seven day, 80 hour work weeks without complaint. He traveled with me, or went with others, on the often grueling business trips to the other side of the globe, where the days were spent in long meetings with local partners and the nights were spent, due to the time difference, in running the business of the Company's Oakland headquarters. But even when he was overwhelmed with work, which was quite often, his work ethic never wavered.
I could talk forever about Wayne's contributions to the Company but his importance to me went far deeper than that. He was an anchor and one of my closest friends. Never reluctant to disagree when disagreement was due, he provided invaluable counsel to others and myself at World Wide. He was respected and admired by all. He performed small and discrete acts of kindness without expecting reciprocation or even thanks. He was a remarkable person, one of the best men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. To say that I will miss him, and that I already do miss him terribly, is an incredible understatement. That he is no longer physically with us will leave an ache that, with time, may subside but will never fully go away. I loved him, we all loved him, so much that we simply cannot imagine what it will be like without him in our lives. We hope that our joyful memories of the time we were fortunate enough to spend together will overshadow the sorrow we feel so close in time to his death. And we hope that his life will serve as an example to those of us he left behind.
We at World Wide Wireless Communications will carry on. We know that our personal tragedy does not relieve us of any of our responsibilities to our shareholders. We will put our grief behind us as we continue the efforts, to which Wayne was so dedicated, to continue the implementation of the Company's vision.
I will miss you my dear friend, more than you could ever have known. May you rest in peace.
