EMAIL DETAILS

I say let's be bold and just walk in there.

Clearly we can be helpful on many levels, but I'd rather be inside the tent doing stuff in the name of Peat, and then when MSFT buys them for 4B we are already in the guts. So timing is important.

I'll cold call them tomorrow and get a meeting - I bet you one dollar. Give me the thumbs up and I'll call them 1st thing.

Safe travels.

Neil
