Rick, please name some of these companies you have started. I’d like to check them out.

And is there anyone at earth2tech.com other than blogger Katie and commenter Rick?

Oh, cool your back!

Please elaborate upon what conversions you are supposedly bidding, and for what market. I asked that earlier.
