[ALERT] ---> The "Ironworks" name is here to stay! - Page 3

Sazerac · 10-25-2002, 09:29 AM

My condolences to you and Donna, Ziroc.

Although I am thrilled that everything worked out "for the best", I must say that it was a scurvy way to treat someone. But that's big business for you. At least the $7,000 will come in handy. (I think they did that to avoid litigation, IMO!)

Everything comes out in the wash, though. You never know what may be in store next. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Cheers,
-Sazerac

Major bummer, Dan. I hate it that you and Donna got your hopes up just to get them dashed. Oh, well, as Mouse says: onwards and upwards. As I constantly remind myself, "They can kill ya but they can't eat ya, because that's against the law."

Micro$oft went back on a deal - how come I'm not surpriced [img]graemlins/1disgust.gif[/img]

Oh well - Z got 7000$ and the rest of us keep being Ironworkers [img]graemlins/thewave.gif[/img]

Nachtrafe · 10-25-2002, 09:51 AM

Hey Big Z...I just wanted to add my condolences to everyone elses. That sucks big-time! But again, like everyone else is saying...7k is better than a slap in the belly with a wet fish. While it's not what you were hoping for, hopefully it will help. And at least we all get to stay as IWers. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hugs for you and Donna and more tuna for [img]graemlins/choc.gif[/img] ...And smurgles, if he'll condescend to take em.

Nacht

But i don`t understand, why do you all hate Microsoft all of a sudden?? That 7K$ was more than enough to compensate for the "damage". Hey, if there wouldn´t be Microsoft, there wouldn`t be that easily earned 7K$.

Where did you get the idea its "all of a sudden"?

Most people hate M$. Its a fact. Even non-technical people who just feel that things could be better.

Besides, offering 45K, getting as close as having the paperwork signed by one party, then changing their minds isnt a nice way to run a business. But at least they did give some compensations, which is more that I would have expected.

Better luck next time, Ziroc.

I am so sorry to hear this Dan, I know how great it would have been for you and Donna to have that money.

But think of it like some people posted here: you lose nothing and gain 7k. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Good luck and a big hug!

EXCELLENT POINT Mel!!! Dan I am sorry to see the deal fell through though.

250, i don't see how Microsoft would lose 3000 customers - i doubt we have that many members who post regularly, and a lot of members aren't taht attached to the board

Regardless, it's a shame you didn't get the full whack, Z. But what you did get was better than a poke in the eye with a sharp pencil and no mistake

*\Conan/* · 10-25-2002, 04:10 PM

Sorry for The other buyers is right!

Sounds like a mixed up organization at times. Someone called it micro-suck once but I don't remember who. Don't beleive that happened Ziroc.

On the other hand if you line up 10 more potential investers like this a year..Ironworks will take over
