Many liked idea/concept… but tech consultants said team was “too old” to reach “twitter generation” via social media.
IX: AHA! Multimedia, Inc.
The world still needs this programmed – learning project. It can make it easier for children, seniors, the poor, & people in developing countries, etc. al. to learn computer basics quickly, then surge up the “ladder of computer competence!” Thus, someone who knows a lot more about computer technology than I… can probably make “a bundle” updating and putting this project back together. EVERYTHING you need is on a single disc. Over $500K was invested, we were invited to present AHA! at the United Nations World Conference in 2001, but we missed that deadline…then came “9/11,” the corporate financial scandals (ENRON, Anderson, et. al.), co-founder/angel investor’s heart attack, and death of VC for Internet projects! The global financial crisis forced the UN to back off a commitment to “…make closing the digital divide a ‘top priority’ in the new millennium, and the Bush administration seldom if ever used the phrase as it supported a liberal cause.

Hey Buzz,
It’s been a pleasure working with you and playing a part in helping you get your book (‘What the World Should Know about Black History in the USA’) to market. In all our interactions, you’ve been ever a gentleman. I appreciate that in our business dealings, you’ve shown you value the people and the *relationship*– not just the transaction. I know you’ve faced some challenging times over the past couple of years w/ declining health, etc. I appreciate the inspiring example you’ve set: facing “the inevitable” with a steadfast spirit and a determination to “make the best of it”…(whatever “it” happens to be at the particular moment). My life is better for having known you. Be well, my friend. –Ryan
