: Sort of an odd chain of ownership there. Slim is the Chairman of the company
: that holds a majority share in the company that owns CompUSA. But you
: can't fault the guy too much, he has passed Gates on the money list,
: IIRC...

I'm sure that has a lot to do with the fact that Gates has already given billions of his assets away via the Gates foundation to be sure but yeah, he's a rich bastard alright.

: WOW! He had to have diversified at some point, Coke doesn't turn you into a
: multibillionaire unless you pretty well control the world's supply :P

Of course, from what I understand he helped do land rezoning management for several mexican "resort" towns as well which all bring massive windfalls of cash.

: Tell us how you *really* feel?

: I'm just givin ya shit. I know Kurt was an asshole as the GM at the Anchorage
: store (rumor has it that he came out of the closed-door management
: conference call in tears, but who knows how substantial that rumor really
: is?)

You know, I never had a problem with Kurt. Everytime I've gone up to visit since I moved down here and since quitting the company, he was always cool and would say hi, chit-chat about life and whatnot and it was all good. It's not Kurt or even Pat that I had the problems with, it was specific management throughout the WA area.

: They'll all move on to better things.... or find the next best alternative
: and be satisfied 'cause it's easy....

Yeah, I hope so. I do still miss playing hack out front in the middle of summer after closing with the crew and going for O'Brady's burgers at lunch all the time. Those were some fun days all in all and it was the people I was working with that made it such.

: I think I'm the only one posting in this thread that didn't wear a red shirt
: at one point or another...

Hehehe, man I had a number of shirt colors in this region but never the much desired Black w/ white logo I wanted. ;) I came close twice but the regional rep was too much of a stickler to offer me the position even with the backing of multiple GM's, sales reps, customers and other Apple employees. Oh well, their loss. Now I'm back in Redmond working with "the enemy" lol...
