Hi all,

I went to the HVCA party today to listen to speaker Ted Liu who is in charge
of DBEBT. I found the gathering to be interesting and informative although I
felt a bit out of place. When you talk to these people about Apache is they
think Indians instead.

As you all know there has been a clash between the Lingle administration
and the high tech community here in Hawaii who wish to keep ACT221 intact.
After listening to Ted Liu I'm convinced that they want to do everything for
Hawaii's high tech even though they want to do a few changes to the tax law.
Listening to him I split 50/50 on the issue of whether to change and better
the act or  don't do any changes at all which most of the community has
agreed. 

I was against making changes to this act in the beginning. Now seeing both
sides of the picture I'm somewhat 50/50 for and against making changes.

Sorry this might be a little bit off topic but it concerns a lot of people
here on the list. 

Virgil
