I've never really been a Microsoft fan, in fact I've hated them ever since the early browser wars and when they destroyed my favorite up and coming operating system the 'BeOS'. My loathe for them probably peaked somewhere around 10 years ago. Today Microsoft has a lot more competition from Apple and Google. You see, I like competition.

Very cool info graphic I came across. Shows why ideas and promoting and advertising yourself comes first. Then you make your product better.

Next buy that product and take a picture of yourself with it with some commentary.

If they don't have a physical product, then buy and review it. Use a picture that relates to the product, as pictures draw more attention.

Next ask the page/product owner to repost your review or picture.

Now sit and wait. ...

These small business do NOT get a bail out, they do not have friends in Washington that will give them subsidies....

I have my pretty fiancée trained pretty good now to check her change whenever she gets some. She has found about 5 or 6 silver coins over the past year (mostly silver dimes). It's also now really fun for her, which I'm very happy to see. There is silver in any dime or quarter before 1964. So she has gotten this habit of bringing me any coin that looks old.

So just the other day she brings me in an old nickel, and I’m instantly kind of like well that’s nice but it probably isn’t...
