Retire? I will never retire.

I see Intershop as a leader in the E-commerce digital economy and believe the company has truly long-term potential.

I am a very thorough person.

No one has ever been able to stop the process and evolution of technology, not even I.B.M. That is going to continue. Those who grab it and move ahead with it will determine the future in this industry.

I turned Compaq from a small company with troubles into a computer powerhouse. We can do the same at Intershop.

I think the PC will continue to be around for a long, long time to come. We see a new range of products evolving around the PC, but it's not going away.

Retire? I will never retire.
