Donald,

First of all, what is my side? I posted a barely see-able scan on an obscure listing in my Ebay store, that I didn't think anyone would even see before I could put a nice scan up. What I was really looking for on the net was a picture of the 2003 Orleans chip on the Orleans own website. I look at that as promoting the Orleans and an acceptible use.

I should of just left it without a picture until I scanned my beautiful 6 new chip scan. I don't feel I gained anything except perhaps grief from that scan.

I posted the stuff about MP3 files and software to show that I don't steal. I thought I had contributed enough on this board to borrow an image for a day or so. Looking back I guess I should of not shared that information on the new 2003 Orleans chip. I should of got all my scans together and posted them with links to my auctions and tried to make a buck on them.

I have written two "books", one on the pizza business and one on the midwestern card game Euchre. I know there is very little I can do to protect my works. When the main cage at Bally's tried to give me $8 too much in change, I pointed out their mistake and took what I was owed.

I have to admit that I like this new Sheraton commercial with that Rolling Stones song it it. (Let's spend the night together) Oh and for those locals that know what I am talking about, everytime from now on when that little 8 year old girl says,"Please, save some water for us!" I am turing my tap on for a full minute! (G)

Well, I just got home from about 30 casinos from Vegas and I would be posting all the things I have learned. Well, I guess I will keep that info private to my email newsletter list. It is obvious that very few people gave my contribution any value.

Hmmmm I can't find the message that someone posted ,"Sales of cd's are up, it isn't the fault of MP3's" or something to that effect. I guess he is in that crowd that says,"Record companies make too much money, the band can make money on shirts/concerts" That is a very slippery slope. That concept is pretty common in the under 30 crowd. If copyrights aren't protected because they,"Have too much money so it is alright if we steal the music" I guess when someone that has less than he does, takes his car or breaks into his home because,"He has insurance, or he can afford it"!

Sorry, (G) On my Dad's side we're doctors and lawyers. On my mom's side we're Rocket Scientists and Pharmacists, I am stuck in the middle with you. (G)

Live long and prosper,

Resistance is Futile,

Byron :o)
