HELLO EVERYONE!
In my last post, i informed all of you about an Investment Opportunity, called ANDYGUT, which is basically, the internet for people who don't have computers. If you would like to read more about it, please see my earlier post, called "Investment Opportunity." But the gist is, if someone would like to use the internet to find information, say, on building a fence gate, but they don't have a computer, they could simply go to one of the ANDYGUT kiosks and fill out a slip of paper, and we would do the research. We would then make a copy of the results, with holepunches, and place it in a binder. You could then go have a cup of coffee, or purchase some socks - and then return, and the binder would be ready for you. This would cost the consumer a modest price depending on the size of the binder. It would probably be no more than $35 per search.
Looking at my last post, I was thrilled by your responses.
But let me address the more pertinent questions and concerns.
BOSTONBRAHMIN writes that " Anybody who has used the internet knows it takes a little more than punching a keyword to come up with something useful. Even an expert would probably need 15 minutes, and a lot of clicks before he can figure out what best works for him. And that is, if he in sure what works for him. Just a keyword will not be remotely useful, specially if the guy doing the search knows nothing beyond that keyword about what you really want. "
GREG'S RESPONSE: this is a fair point, Bostonbrahmin, which is why we will have a team of clerks on hand to help come up with the right phrases and/or keywords to use. For example, lets say you want to build a fence gate. Well, just typing in "fence gate" may be too broad. A clerk might suggest "a six foot fence gate." The price for this type of assistance would be based on the amount of time spent coming up with phrases, as well as tools used (slips of paper, pencil lead). MR. BOSTONBRAHMIN, If you are interested in applying for a job in the Boston area, we'd gladly have you on board. Of course, we would need to see a resume. It would also help if you have a valid drivers license and some experience working a holepuncher.

Useless, stupid post. Why is it here?
GREG: this is a question that people who don't have computers would not be able to ask. Hence, the need for an internet designed for people who don't have computers. Duh, I must say, your name fits!
CLEVELAND CHICK writes: "Well Smartboy - Many senior centers, libraries, coffee shops even malls have free computers with free internet access to do exactly what you propose. For a blogger, you are a bit of a feeb. Next, you'll write a post about a cool new idea about a 'Pet Rock'.
GREG: Cleveland Chick, I was not aware of this, and I am grateful that you pointed this out to me. But will these socalled "senior centers, libraries, and coffee shops" be willing to make copies and place the findings in an attractive and versatile binder? Can you check that for me?? More important Cleveland Chick, why are you commenting on this post on a Friday night when you should be out socializing with members of the opposite sex? Could this explain your underlying dissatisfaction with my post?
GIMMEABREAK writes: "So Greg, how much pot were you and Andy smokin'?"
GREG: Gimmeabreak, I do not smoke any kind of drug. I get high on life. I suggest you do the same, instead of spending all your time and resources on that "wacky tobacco" and renting pornography. If you would like, I welcome you to join ANDYGUT as an unpaid intern. We run a clean ship, and would gladly welcome you "aboard!"
BUSHMUSTGO writes: "You plan on binding the material and filing it for reference in the local library, right? But doesn't nearly every library these days have free internet access? So if I'm some computerless person that treks over to the library, why wouldn't I just use the computer rather than the cumbersome binder?
GREG: this is a fair question. But it wouldn't be a cumbersome binder. It would be a fairly sleek kind, like a PVC ring binder. This binder would be made of a durable yet attractive and stylish material, in all standard sizes and formats - with either 2, 3, 4, or multi-ring, round or 'D' ring binding. For a modest additional charge, we can add padded, metal corners and stitched edges and of course printed. An added bonus: if you were doing a search on your favorite band, we can actually write the name of the band on the binder cover.
Again, investment opportunies are still available, but they are going fast. Please contact me as soon as possible, at the usual address.

greg
