Hi, Rod.

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

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

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

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

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

RS> Like hell he did on the quick and dirty cobbling
RS> together of commercially available stuff.

I *told* you what he said.

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

Which is nothing to do with what we were talking about. Your usual
change-the-subject ploy.

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

RS> Precisely. The other bit is no shocking revelation.

Didn't actually see you making *any* of those comments, before or after
the event.

Regards, fIM.
