Re: AGA 2004 (fwd)
Uh, hardly... I would say that though things have been pretty crazy since
1999, things really started kicking into high gear about a year ago...
around the time we started to put in the PayPal setup, fixed the member
database, got the ads started for TAG, wrote that durned convention bid
thing, started working with Larry...
before that, the biggest deal was Karen taking over TAG (which was
probably the biggest deal in the last two years), but there have been many
more smaller big deals in the last 12 months than before then.
