cool...i bet he's getting paid a good bit too :)

I hope he can turn that place around. I used to work there but left way before all the bad stuff came out, boy am I glad I did too. He's taking on a challenge, but judging from his backgroung he should do just fine.

Sure hope he brings my stock price back from the 0 digits column

Nice promotion! Great to see you at the race also.

I was charged 93 cents a minute for calls to Germany. I went back to att. We usually talk several times a month for 30 60 minutes so I was not real happy when I got the first bill. I can fly there for 400 to 800. Now the jackasses call usually at dinner hour to ask why I switched? I ask for their home number so I can call them at home at dinner:D

Ask him is he can get OSO members the $ .03/minute anywhere in the US, Canada and Western Europe.......:D;)
