my response

Sounds pretty good to me. Here is my input:

Artificial, Inc. - is a high end 3D ONLY "Developer of VirtualWorlds on the Internet", therefore the site must explain that,and show samples using a QT slide show with a radio announcertype of voice explaining what the user is looking at. It would

obviously attempt to gain new customers, it is not meant to bea nickel dime generator, hence it is our Corporate site and isour way of explaining and demonstrating what we can do. Wedo not do anything that is not high end 3D! This keeps us out ofcompetition with the hundreds of thousands of : hey my kid cando a internet site, why so much?".

We do not want to do anything under $35-$50K. As we progresswe will evolve to SGI Softimage and NT Softimage "Hollywood"3D levels.

Plus: We get to turn the StarPower stores into our COMDEXbooth! ala Starship DiagSoft... they have a large screen behindthe circular reception desk that we can run a DVD/internetpresentation on, as well as put a internet (intranet) server ineach store, which will allow us to automate their stores todemonstrate the beginning of the convergence of Computersand Home Theatre. They are attempting to get SONY PC's viaNathan. This demo site for Artificial, Inc. will get us morecustomers than you can handle... also, remember that David issuper hot on the DVD aquarium video footage he saw in ourDiagSoft 95 COMDEX video... he see's a major AI/StarPowerproduct to be used as the AI/StarPower HDTV video aquarium...

I want you, Joe, Jamie, and Chris to go to Dallas asap to visitStarPower, and if Frank is in Dallas at the same time, to visitwith some of his PC game development friends in the real PCGame market located there. And I want Trip Reports within oneweek of your return to California.

The very high end is the only place for us to survive! That

means high end customers.

NAIG, INC. - Donald has no choice, he will sign agreements overthe next few days to proceed with whatever software vendorsthat he can. Unfortunately, he has not got the funds to do so. Idoubt that he will pay Artificial unless we have a strongcontract. He cannot wait on us! His ship is leaving the dock aswe speak. I still want us to pursue competing in the InternetGaming software market, but we do it our way. I want you togo to Atlanta next month to the E3 show. Frank will be there,and so will Nathan... talk to Frank.

GHKlibrary - is a high end 3D home and small business (soho)future product. It is to be on DVD (again HIGH END) and utilizesONLY 3D animation, with a drag and drop capability forDocument Storage and Management - We will call this feature,"C.A.R.M.S." for Computer Assisted Records ManagementSystem.

I used to build these at Microform, and all we need to do is tointerface to existing Document Storage and Retrieval Systemsusing our internet based 3D animation front ends. Xerox ispushing this concept of a paperless office, as well as all of itscompetitors...

If you want a growth company you must focus on high endproduct areas.

Talk Story - is to be a "gathering place for native Hawaiians"talking pigeon english with intense aloha and hawaiian humor.We need a few native hawaiians to help us stupid holies do this!

Plus we need them to do our voice overs...

It is to start on a beach, not a stinkin' Mall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lasttime I will say this.

Of course we can have a mall, and of course we can have QT ofHawaii and all of the tourist vendors, like the Molokini snorkelboats, including dive footage...

If we use Talk Story to put Hawaii on the internet, the State ofHawaii will assist us in improving tourism, since it is at an alltime low right now...

The Hawaii islands are in need of a mainland based internetvehicle, because as the internet increases in load, so do thecosts of transmission, and the costs of telephony are out of sitein Hawaii. So what do we do? We put together a multi islandnetwork called "BigKahuna.Net" and we have our Maui officegather up the vendors and native hawaiians into our Mall's andChat rooms...

This is the story I have been telling Chris, Joe, and Jamieforever!

Jeffrey, we will make revenue in many many ways, first bringthe hawaiians together in our Talk Story "gathering place", thehawaiian businesses will follow, and so will the world!

AND MAKE IT FUNNY !

Work towards spreading ALOHA, and soothe the pain of the

Above all remember "hey the Kahuna is kinda like da Pope, bra"

The other native americans will follow, as will the other islandnations.
