she does kick herself sometimes. she worked for a big time computer company in the 80's and people came to her with a software and hardware company and suggested she buy stock in both. both were sitting around 10 cents a share and were just getting going. she said the hardware company had a stupid name and that software doesn't ever take off and that it would be wasting money to invest in software. the companies were microsoft and apple.
Wow...you really are delusional aren't you? You think that by repeating a lie that people will believe you? You're only fooling yourself.
Let's recap:
- NP says that no one ever sells Linux distros - wrong (embarrassingly wrong as there were board members who actually bought them!)
- NP claims that the Chinese gov't has policies in place to advance tech but cannot name said policy
- NP claims that he knows of Chinese tech companies moving to challenge Western companies in telecom and networking but cannot name any
I can't remember the one or two other points but I may simply dig up that thread for good times. I've never seen anyone on here who's been wrong so consistently. I am thinking of Woodpeckr and AnimalMagnetism but they had their good days.
Apple was never around 10 cents a share. And, I'm pretty sure that MS in '80s was worth a lot more than 10 cents.
early 80's when they were both just getting public for like a few days. i may be wrong about the price she was offered it at but 2 other people at the company took the offer that was given them and they retired a long time ago and moved to somewhere warm. i do know it was under or very close to 1$.
Impossible. Apple's IPO price was $22.00. Split adjusted worth is $2.75.

MS' IPO price was $21.
apple was around 1$ in the early 80's. everyone that went in on the deal is a millionaire now.
Oook but I'm very skeptical since the lowest that I recall it being in the '80s was around $16 (or was that the last time they paid a dividend then?).
Actually, there were two threads...one of which NP accused me of deleting. LOL!!!

i am taking my moms word on the story. she is 61, smokes a lot of pot and has MS. she has been telling me the same story for years but the amount it was worth did change from time to time. are you calling my mother a liar ?

I'm just saying that I'm skeptical.
Huawei reveals 'fastest smartphone in the world' - Yahoo! News
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Huawei, a Chinese company that recently became the world's third-largest maker of smartphones, calls its new flagship product "the fastest smartphone in the world" and wants to use it to expand global awareness of its brand.
Parts of the presentation of the phone at a press conference Sunday in Barcelona, Spain, suggest that the company has some way to go in polishing its pitch for a global audience.
Richard Yu, head of Huawei's consumer business group said the new phone can be programmed to display more than 100 different "themes," or looks. This is important because "ladies like flowers, colorful things," Yu said.
Yu also said Huawei is learning from Apple how to make Google's Android software easier to use, a lawsuit-friendly utterance considering that Apple is on a global campaign to sue makers of Android phones for copying from the iPhone.
The new phone, the Ascend P2, will have a 4.7 inch screen. Yu said it will be available in the April to June time frame for about $525 without a contract. It's the "fastest" because it supports faster download speeds than other phones. However, today's wireless networks aren't equipped to supply those speeds.
Huawei Technologies Ltd. was the world's third largest seller of smartphones, after Samsung and Apple, in the fourth quarter of last year, according to research firm IDC. That's despite selling very few phones in the U.S., where the big phone companies mostly ignore it. It has a much better position in Europe, where cellphone companies have embraced its network equipment, and France's Orange is committed to selling the phone.
In the U.S., a congressional panel recommended in October that phone carriers avoid doing business with Huawei or its smaller Chinese rival, ZTE Corp., for fear that its network equipment could contain "back doors" that enable access to communications from outside. The Chinese government rejected the report as false and an effort to block Chinese companies from the U.S. market.
Meanwhile, a report by a private U.S. cybersecurity firm concluded recently that a special unit of China's military is responsible for sustained cyberespionage against U.S. companies and government agencies. China has denied involvement in the attacks in which massive amounts of data and corporate trade secrets, likely worth hundreds of millions of dollars, were stolen.
"It has not been an easy journey for us," Huawei's global brand director, Amy Lou, said Sunday of the company's quest to become globally recognized and trusted. She called the company "a great consumer brand in the making."
The world's largest cellphone trade show, Mobile World Congress, opens Monday in Barcelona.

I love the Huawei spokesman. Huawei is learning from apple's use of android? It's the fastest but there's no network for the advertised speed? Ladies like flowers? Sort of comes off like a semi-racist SNL sketch from the 70's.
