Business plans in PDF format for Business Cycles

In response to student inquiries, the investors during round 1 will be able
to access your business plans. (This was not enabled during round 0).  By
Friday, please send email to Mette with your business plan as an attachment
as a word document. She will make a PDF version and place it on the web.
In future rounds, we will automate this upload and conversion process for
you.

Talking during class

Please, please, have respect for the presenters and those around you and
refrain from conversation during class.  Even talking in "whispers" is
distracting to those near you.   If you are distracted by people talking,
please let me know during the break and I will talk to the offenders.

Viewing sites without frames

On Friday, Mette will be giving some additional info about testing your
sites and how to release them for production use on the
vcommerce.hawaii.edu server.  She will also talk about this issue.

Second, all of you might think a bit about the implications of this
comment. You certainly don't want to be giving your consumers a headache!
Check out your banner and try to evaluate whether it is attention-getting
without being irritating.
