    you really are part o L.A. The nancebackground I received here was crucialwhen I developed the initial businessplan or GeoCities. The act that I couldput together a balance sheet, incomestatement and cash fow statementandunderstand how these three statementstied together, and relate the numbers tothe businessis one o the reasons wewere so successul in raising money.
