Happy Birthday AGT...I have a son with the same birthday!

Precocious,
It has been a long haul, its really ok, if we tend to venture off the subject at hand , because the exchange of thoughts and feelings have been friendly and compationate. It breaks the ice, so to speak, since we seem to be in a "holding pattern", at the moment. I for one, think that it is a release of built up anxiety, and anticipation. I think that tonites interactions have been very heathly.

Not sure where to post this. Sorry

*** Now, here's an interesting little bit of news:

>From Juneau, Alaska comes word that a computer technician accidentally
erased a disk drive containing information on $38 billion worth of
accounts.

Bummer.

"That's what happened to a computer technician reformatting a disk drive
at the Alaska Department of Revenue. While doing routine maintenance work,
the technician accidentally deleted applicant information for an
oil-funded account - one of Alaska residents' biggest perks - and
mistakenly reformatted the backup drive, as well."

We will not dwell on the incident. Fortunately, the revenuers had a back
up somewhere. All was well...more or less.

But one of our colleagues posed a question to us that we will pose to
you:

How rich would you be if Fidelity...or Merrill Lynch...or your pension
company...or your mutual fund managers...destroyed all those little bits
of electronic information that define your wealth?

"I was talking with an old friend of mine who is filthy rich - 8-figures
kind of rich, before the decimal point," wrote our Pittsburgh
correspondent, Byron King. " He makes $20,000 per day just in interest on
funds he has sitting in a money market account. He was musing about what
would happen if somebody set off a nuke at altitude, and the EMP wrecked
the world's data storage network. 'If you wiped out all the data storage
at Fidelity, would I still be rich,' he asked?

"We pondered the question, and he is now accumulating gold."

I wish that I could help you, but I am so at a loss of words at this time.

Members were saying there are to many sticky's. But you have found it ,and when you post in a Thread is validates it and moves it up the list to most resent posted in Thread. So post away.
