In the 70's, the best place to do technobusiness discussions is one of 
the bars just outside of MIT, or one of MIT's libraries (unlike our own, 
which close on most weekends, most libraries at MIT are open 24 hours a 
day, 7 days a week).  Today, it is one of the restaurants in Shanghai.  
In Oahu, one of the best places is lunch time at MIC.

Not 90's but 80's or even 70's.  The only deal we made was an offer to 
acquire a domain name (close to $100K).  Yes, I am an out-of-date old 
fashion.  Nothing can change that, I am afraid.  Wayne
