It's one you could do yourself if you wanted to. Just sign up and choose your plan. They chose the network plan since that allows you to use your own domain name. You can get the most basic plan for free or, if you don't want ads, you can get the pro level for as little as $199.00 a month depending on how many members you draw to the sight. http://me.com/snapp.php
The new buzzme site is pretty amazing!
attp has done a reverse split and is now trading under the symbol attg. The split was 1 for 50.
I'm not going to bother requesting a new board for the new symbol.
Don't know about SI but Lycos keeps giving me a "server too busy" error message.
Geez, it has to be.lol
that explains why I had to re-enter my log in info
Great job on the "I-box" Weo. It was definately out of date.
If your refering to RB as the other board, seems none of them exist anymore. Almost every board I follow over there has come to a screeching halt since the new format.
Good luck
Hey Weo
Sold out last year but still follow the company. I've gotta get set up with a new broker before I do anything with pennies, including the ones I'm still in. 2 cents a share for any trade over 1000 now. Not what I'd call OTC friendly.
EGRO has had it's fair share of hurdles but Chris and co seem to remain committed in their efforts and from the dealings I had with them, straight forward in answering questions. Not that several would agree. That in itself says a lot more than some of the other ceo's I've dealt with.
Good luck.
This post seems to be floating all over RB but if you haven't seen it there, its worth reading. We'll get past this disaster!!!
I WANT TO THANK THIS INDIVIDUAL FOR HIS COMMENTS.
a remarkable editorial broadcast from
Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian television
commentator. What follows is the full text of his
trenchant remarks as printed in the Congressional
Record:
"This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the
Americans as the most generous and possibly the least
appreciated people on all the earth.
Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and
Italy were lifted out of the debris of war by the
Americans who poured in billions of dollars and
forgave other billions in debts. None of these
countries is today paying even the interest on its
remaining debts to the United States.
When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it
was the Americans who propped it up, and their reward
was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of
Paris. I was there. I saw it.
When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the United
States that hurries in to help. This spring, 59
American communities were flattened by Tornadoes.
Nobody helped.
The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped
billions of dollars into discouraged countries. Now
newspapers in those countries are writing about the
decadent, war- mongering Americans.
I'd like to see just one of those countries that is
gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar
build its own airplane. Does any other country in the
world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet,
the Lockheed Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If so, why
don't they fly them? Why do all the International
lines except Russia fly American Planes?
Why does no other land on earth even consider putting
a man or woman on the moon? You talk about Japanese
technocracy, and you get radios. You talk about German
technocracy, and you get automobiles. You talk about
American technocracy, and you find men on the moon -
not once, but several times - and safely home again.
You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs
right in the store window for everybody to look at.
Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued and hounded.
They are here on our streets, and most of them,
unless they are breaking Canadian laws, are getting
American dollars from ma and pa at home to spend here.
When the railways of France, Germany and India were
breaking down through age, it was the Americans who
rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the
New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old
caboose. Both are still broke.
I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to
the help of other people in trouble. Can you name me
even one time when someone else raced to the Americans
in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even
during the San Francisco earthquake.
Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one
Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them get
kicked around. They will come out of this thing with
their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled
to thumb their nose at The lands that are gloating
over their present troubles. I hope Canada is not one
of those."
Stand proud, America!"
Everyone posting on that board was informed by RB that their member info had been subpeoned. Same thing with SFTS (same BOD). Interesting to watch but not to fun finding out the co is looking into your background lol.
Looks like ATTP made an investment in GEXC. From the GEXC PR announcing the strategic alliance.
http://www.pinksheets.com/quote/news.jsp?url=fis_story.asp%3Ftextpath%3DCOMTEX%5Cbw%5C2001%5C07%5C10...
Wonder what the investment was, certainly explains the dilution we've been going through.
Welcome aboard!!! Thats a good compilation of links for this issue. I did notice in the significant developments link that there was no mention of the zmail aquisition. Wonder why market watch doesn't include it. Or maybe I just overlooked it.
Anyhow, good long term stock here, things are moving in the right direction. IMO
they were spams for stock email alerts.
NICM has anounced a stock buy back!! 10%
Hi BrySly,
Yes, I'm afraid that those that sold for a few cents of profit on this last run up are going to regret being short sighted down the road.
I'm looking forward to some contract announcements.
Alaman
Looks like another strong day ahead, we were the subject of a stock pick newsletter
Wow Clen, when you accumulate, you don't go half heartedly do you? lol
Over a mil vol !!!!!
Hiya Clen, were you able to get through to SB today?
I'm curious as to what kind of local advertising they do. Either one of you live in the Texas area?
Welcome Clen!!!! I believe I've seen you on the RB board. Looks like good times are ahead for this issue. Hope the momentum stays with us. I bought too early but avg'd down and am holding for good returns. I think they'll come. Good luck!
Alaman
But of course!!!
welcome aboard. I agree, the future of this co. is strong.
I use USAA which has a few good points (don't have to wire money to fund account) but there are enough downsides to look elsewhere.
Interesting, I've heard many good things about WebStreet. What don't you like about them?
Plato, just a guess but I know they were working on a new program to eliminate all the annoying spams that were taking over. If you'll notice, they're about gone. Downside is now we get to live with "de ja vue". If you saw "The Matrix" then you'll know how bad that could be lol.
EGRO, a rather expensive lesson
seems to be in anticipation of the upcoming shareholders meeting.
I'll second that!!!!

ATTP acquires Cameras Etc and BeeperBoutique:

These two major acquisitions where closed in the second quarter and the Company expects them to fuel considerable growth in fiscal 2000.

Interview with the CEO held on 7/19/00:
http://www.thestockadvisor.com/attp.htm
here is what it says
7/19/00
INTERVIEW - Affordable Telecommunications Technology Corporation (OTCBB:ATTP)
After the recent acquisitions by Affordable Telecommunications Technology Corporation, TheStockAdvisor was able to interview Steve Bethke, CEO and President of ATTP to discuss plans for these companies.
TSA: Steve, first let me thank you for taking the time to do this interview. What can you tell us about your status with the acquisitions?
STEVE: I am please to have the opportunity to tell our shareholders and potential investors about the integration of the operations of Beeper Boutique and Camera's etc into Affordable Telecommunications Technology Corporation.
TSA: What do these acquisitions mean to ATTP?
STEVE: The acquisition of Beeper Boutique brought us 19,000 one-way pager subscribers who generate monthly reoccurring revenue. It also included nine locations of which eight are located in high traffic malls. The name "Beeper Boutique" is a recognized name in the market. The ATTP management team has spent the past month working to understand the total operation of the company.
TSA: What did you find as you examined the operations and how best to integrate these companies?
STEVE: We found that the one weakness that Beeper Boutique has is that it didn't have the extensive relationships with cellular telephone service and Personal Communications Service providers that ATTP has. We are currently in negotiations with Sprint PCS, Nextel and others to introduce these wireless products and services to the markets outside Houston, which will provide a significant increase in revenues. The plan is to have these relationships in place to take advantage of the up coming holiday sales. We are also are negotiating with an aggressive advertising agency to develop a comprehensive marketing plan in all markets.
TSA: Sounds like you have a plan in place to leverage Beeper Boutique into a significant source of revenue. What can you tell us about the integration of Camera’s etc?
STEVE: The integration of Camera's etc is progressing. This month we plan to introduce wireless products and services to their customers. Plans are to relocate the store to a high traffic freeway location in Pasadena, Texas to better serve our customers. We also plan to upgrade the point of sale system to better capture customer-sale history.
TSA: That sounds great. Acquisitions always require some time to fully integrate and also can be somewhat of a financial drain, at least initially, what is ATTP doing in that regard?
STEVE: We are in negotiations with a number of companies to increase equity funding and lines of credit to grow the revenues of the company. As details become final, we will be releasing information to inform shareholders and investors.
TSA: Does ATTP anticipate any additional acquisitions?
STEVE: In the future, we plan to make other acquisitions of wireless marketing companies who have significant reoccurring revenue subscribers. This will increase our revenue base and provide the vehicle for expanding our markets for all products.
TSA: Steve, it sounds like ATTP is on the right path and that you and the rest of the staff at ATTP are going to be very busy. Thank you for taking this time to provide our readers and your shareholders with an update.
STEVE: It has been my pleasure. I welcome the opportunity to provide our shareholders and your readers with this update on our Company’s status.
Affordable Telecommunications Technology Corp. is positioning itself to see some dynamic returns on their acquisitions and to expand their revenue base. We look forward to seeing the results of these efforts. Visit the company's website at http://www.thewirelessstore.net.

Bluesox and Smudge, send some of that rain this way. We're under heavy water restrictions. Can't water lawns, wash cars or nuttin. I'll send ya a six pack!
FM, out of curiousity does the COB have the ability to ban a poster (such as this) from posting on a board period or is he limited to removing specific posts. Looks like most of his posts are removed anyhow but noticed he just keeps reposting.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
Elwood, this will not be a short term problem. OPEC has already stated they have no intention of letting oil prices fall to previous levels. I'll try to find the link.
This shouldn't surprise you eom
Yes, I have one of these wildcards and it is a great way to get a message across. The one I have is actually for Vista.
weo, I'll ditto that!!!! Thats why I started this board though as you can see it's been a little slow.
Heres to hoping life will come back to E Resources soon.
Alaman
Thunderbird don't forget the unsolicited offer from Oxford. I haven't followed this one too close but I am in NICM (Oxford). Am curious of your take on this.
Exciting things progressing with E Resources. The www.caremart.com site is being revamped and should be completed withen the next couple of weeks.
Vista continues to gain exposure doing work for the Dallas Chamber and just did a webcast for LOCH.
The first phase of the private placement should be complete soon so hopefully we'll see some news released on that soon.
