BV> I think you might be onto something there. I know a bloke who
BV> may be able to help you get the company listed on the ASX :)

FM> And become an instant millionaire like the bloke from Sausage
FM> Software and get on Channel Nine and all. For a week anyway.
FM> What are Sausage today? 30c? (They listed at I think 90!)

BV> Fuck me. That's 30c more than they are worth. I had a need to
BV> download "HotDog" yesterday. Bloody Hell, you lot are fucking
BV> gullible. He didn't write anything. Not one fucking thing. HotDog
BV> is a VB program and everything is done with 3rd party VBX's. Basically,
BV> all he did was buy VB and the High-Edit VBX. Bugger me. How much
BV> did he sell out for ? Fuck Frank. We can do better than that.

RS> Yeah, yeah, easy to say that after the event.

FM> Brenton actually said that to me *before* the event

After the Netscape fiasco, its hardly a brilliant insight to claim
that other 'hi tech' floats might well make decent money too.

FM> (in person, not in an echo or netmail) when we were discussing the
FM> impending float of SAS. Of course he didn't know then that it was just
FM> a VBX but there was enough other info in the prospectus to be scary.

Precisely. The other bit is no shocking revelation.
