Andy: "You said "from conception" now if you want to dig back a few years you would realize Gates stole the idea of windows from IBM at conception."

You're kidding, right? By the time that windows came out IBM was largely out of the personal computer space altogether. Gates and his friends at Harvard were outsourced to write code for a disk operating system for IBM computers. They were heavily protected and everything they did was copyrighted material. When the project was near completion Gates had a bold idea; he checked with his famous father William H Gates, the Seattle patent and business attorney, and rewrote all the code, replacing the once standard A: prompt which was the basic command for the hard drive to pay attention, and changed to the now ubiquitous "C:" and released it to the public via schools and insitutions, beating the exact same copy of DOS to be released by IBM, by about 6 weeks. Because the C: prompt renamed the hard drive it was legal in the sense that all copyright merterial has to be at least 20% different, and MS DOS launched the career of three of the world's wealthiest four men. Or at least at one time they were.

This was the first of many BRILLIANT moves to become the ONLY real player in home computers, and the company has been brilliantly managed from the get go.

Once again, by trying to say that they stole "windows" from IBM you're just showing your general lack of business knowledge.

AS for the other:

I will lose my investment, but, there will be a lot of freakin heads rolling. And the entire reporting requirements for stocks will be completely overhauled.yeah right. this kind of thing happens with pink sheet companies all the time. Heads will roll. Thats a good one.

Are you guys protecting the very criminals that lie cheat and steal investors moeny from them? Are you promoting misrepresenting PR's? Are you saying that it is okay for CEO's and prinicipals of a company to lie to investors and mislead them? Are you saying it's okay to do that? That we should know when someone is lying?Umm yeah you should know that by now, when dialer hasn't made good on one forward looking statement yet, in 2 years, that there's a good chance he's blowing smoke up yer ass, yes. I do NOT think it's ok for CEO's (term used very loosely) to be able to do this kind of thing, but people keep buying into their crap, with the help of various, a'hem, "people" and if there were less people to buy the stock the schemes and scams (as this APPEARS TO BE) would be more difficult to perpetrate. Yet underexperienced people keep listening to the flowery speech of "people" promising great riches if we only "be patience because it's awlays rewarded"...I am NOT promoting false PR's I'm sitting here so vocally opposed to the people making those grand proimises and their eloquent supporters, simply BECAUSE i want this crap to stop. Chances are 90% you'll just lose more and more money as time goes by. I didn't say 99, because there's a slim chance <10% that they'll come up with a great big PR that might get a bump to 20 or so. At that point the selling will be coming so fast and hard that it will be imossible to keep the bid up for more than a few mintues IMO. There are SO many people who are dying for a price of just even 30 cents, for a fwe minutes, to get their money back out.

So, NO I don't support it and I'm sorry you'vce lost so much, and even more sorry you'll lose more as time goes by.

Have a nice day
