Time is definitely a scarce resource for us because we are all students, and we are debating between making the web app have more functionality but look simple/bare, or having less functionality (but still a solid site) but prettier. The added functionality is by no means necessary, so we would like to focus on beautifying the web app to catch investors eyes. Do you think a very startup friendly investor (especially a tech savy one) would rather see +functionality or +beautification? Thank you for all of the help. Scott John

I didn't realize how popular bells were at sales offices! It is funny how we respond to such things, very Pavlovian. We are primates, after all. Bernie,

Nice. I didn’t realize how popular bells were at sales offices!

It is funny how we respond to such things, very Pavlovian. We are primates, after all.

This was my first real job after university and it inspired healthy competition and celebration of success. Bernie Lyons VP Finance biasLogic Hi John,

One of my only regrets from my days at Citrix is that I did not get 'dibs' on The Bell. I would love to have it as a motivator for one of the startups in Rincon's portfolio. Take care Barry,
