morning DA,
I am little late joining this thread, but not too late to say congratulations to you, and in fact congratulations to everybody who has survived the last 5 years, it wasn't easy was it !
I remember you talking about your war chest in 2002 and 2003.
One thing though, which I have learn't from you, is when you advised anybody wanting to build a business should always keep in mind while growing the business to always grow it in such a way that it is most attractive to a potential buyer.
Have been applying the same to my plan b (have you checked the benes home page lately scotspine) and things are looking good.
Thanks and good luck for the future,
Milan.Comment

Hi Scots,
I just checked your home page, I think I saw the item you have mentioned in the past.
If that is the one, it looks very interesting, and an item that every business will need in some guise or other.
All the best,

What a memory you have milan. The war chest has become more of "quick light skirmish" chest of late, but I hope to be in a position to invade Poland by the end of the year and theron spread Eastwards to maybe engage the Russians in Moscow.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment
