      So if you bought a GM car in 1946 and kept it in a garage and never drove it you would probably have more money now than if you invested that money in their stocks. I wonder if that would be true or not...It would be sad if it is. I have no way of knowing but it's an interesting thought.

        Ah I bet the stock has split several times since 46, not a fair comparison

          If you had purchased $1,000 of AIG stock one year ago, you would have

          $42 left.

          With Lehman, you would have $6.60 left.

          With Fannie or Freddie, you would have less than $5 left.

          But if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all of the
          beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have
          had $214.

          Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and
          recycle.

          It's called the 401-Keg.....

              hahaha, the 401-keg.

              That is hilarious.

              What isn't hilarious is how much energy we all have wasted thinking about ver 7.

              doom and gloom, maybe, but definitely saddened and discouraged.

              Cheers, Chuck

                I have been much more disappointed by other SW companies. Keep the faith. If SU were thrown over tomorrow you'd still have a great ride for awhile. I bought some modeling software at MacWorld (with FREE UPGRADE!) only to have them close the development soon after--without telling anyone for years--still selling the old thing. I am very saddened by my current CAD package, which the developers seem to be intent on killing slowly, with slow and lackluster (kind characterization) version releases.

                Aside--news: Amex is becoming a bank so it can get a piece of the bail-out pie. Hmmm, maybe I should become a bank. ☀

                  I think they will eventually release a version 7, but they will give it a flashier name like

                  SketchUP 2K-9 or SketchUP RU-1-2

                  It will include a new architectural feature Building Uniformity Modeling or BUM. 💚

                  If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

                    Just to show that not all software companies treat their users as mushrooms (you know, kept in the dark and fed shovelfuls of sh1t) here's an alternative approach -

                    I suppose it's just that it's a small organisation compared with other major players.

                      of course they could bag SU 7 altogether and go straight to SU 8 💚

                        Ahha Susan, I failed to consider this so I did a little research. According to Yahoo, GM did a 2:1 split in March of 1989. If this is accurate, then today's stock price is only twice what it was in 1946.
