X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) Thursday - lunch is fine with me - been busy -- Robert went back to school yesterday - he was flying standby - so I spent a lot of time at the airport.

I will volunteer to work on either or both ofthe architecture wh! ite papers - just need a short discussion of what needs tobe in them. I'd rather not work on the patents - I remember that stuff as beingsomewhat painful.How's everyone else doing? Brian got a job offer - did you take it?

I'm still not clear on a question that June asked. Do you really think Paul will be giving us money in January? This last e-mail make's it sound very unlikely. ! --- Perry Merritt <perry, merrittclan dot com> wrote: I think Paul is interested. He's asked for abusiness plan that he can present to his investmentgroup and to friends of his here in the states. Danand I have been working on it this weekend. I justsent him my stuff. THe plan is to get it back toPaul midweek this week. He sent Dan an email afterwe got back apologizing for not giving us a checkand offering to support us as we seek funding. We need to write some other things that I sure don'thave a problem with getting your help on. We need a whitepaper that describes the architectureand the two products DataExtender and TeraGuard(ARVM and ADML). We also need to start filing out patent forms. Thereis a bunch of information at http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/design/index.html I figured on three patent attempts, The ability tocapture file activity for the purpose of providingintelligent data management (adml), The ability toprovide policy-based management of kernel andapplication software (portal), and The ability toutilize applications in a policy-based storagesystem (ITK). So if you'd like to start working on any of those itwould be helpful.We got to play on Saturday. We visted the Tower ofLondon, took a city cruise down the Thames toWestminster, heard Big Ben chime, saw Parlament,rode the tube to St Paul's, (went inside, but Danwouldn't pay to see the really cool parts) and thenrode the train out of Paddington station to Readingand on to Ditcot. Sunday we walked outside the hoteland saw W! allingford castle (or what remains of it).It was right behind our hotel in Wallingford. On theway back from the meeting on Monday we drove throughOxford. Didn't eat any beef, but got to go out forIndian one night, oh boy.Have I ever mentioned that I hate computers? Iinstalled my wireless network this weekend. $75billion dollars and a day of work later, now I can'tplay network games, one computer crashes in netbuei,and my DSL won't work.

Theonly thing I'm afraid ofis how serious Paul is - is he really going t! o begiving us money in January? I actuallydon't mind waiting until then - I'm enjoying havingthe time off in the meantime. What'sthe next step for us? What can we do to help untilthen?Did you get a chance to play at all in England. Ihope you did some fun things too,over the weekend. You didn't eat the beef, did you?I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I did -but too much food! JunePerry and Lorae Merritt wrote: Dan and I got home around 5:00 tonight. While the trip wasn't exactly what we had hoped for, it was still a good learning experience. Dan and I came back with a list of things to get done, surrounding a business plan, getting a whitepaper on the technology and getting patents filed. I'm sorry you were in the dark while we were gone, I thought Dan had sent you something Monday, but I didn't see it when I got home. Monday we met with a guy that wanted to provide us with a CEO and to help us find funding. All he wanted in return was a large sum of stock and cash. We're going to try some other avenues first. We had a meeting with a technical/sales guy that Barry knows on Saturday. He thinks the products are solid ideas. Paul, whom we met with on Tuesday, also very much likes what he saw. He wants to put RAID controllers (that he already builds and ships) out on a fibre channel behind our IMU and wants to stripe across the controllers. That way he can loos a drive and the controller will protect the data and he can lose a controller and we'll protect the data. He has a lot of legacy hardware in the field already and likes the idea of being able to extend the life of it with out solution. Unfortunately, as I said from England, Paul won't have his investment money until January. He is also part of an investment group that is looking for something in Febuary. They may be our big round of funding after the initial bit from Paul. He also said he knew people here in the states that would be good sources for money. Dan should be getting conversations set up with those people in the coming weeks.
