My friend, when my dotCom failed and I walked into
the recruiters office, you should have seen the look on
her face when she saw my resume.  Being BuzzWord
Compliant certainly has it's advantages.

I was speaking about end users (Verizon Wireless for
Residential - Try to write email or buy a book on one
of those phones.  Good luck.) Still, for business, I'll bite -
how do your apps effect the bottom line of that company?
Perhaps I owe you an apology.  You're not supposed
to take my rants seriously .. geez.  I guess I forgot a smiley
face or something ... :-)
