Radom Excess: Wild Ride of Michael Cowpland & Corel

White Supremacy: Behind the Eyes of Hate is a non-fiction book detailing one mans experience on the inside of the notorious hate group, Aryan Nations. The true story takes place in a town within the state of Pennsylvania. The writer of the book hails from Toronto. The publishing company is
Trafford, which is located in British Columbia. This book explains the true evil that exists in some places throughout the world today, everything from their vile reaction to Sept.11th to their ritual rallies. If you believe in equal rights and feel strongly in crippling those who contaminate our society with hate, this is a must-read. Although this book displays some offensive facts that still continue to taint our world to this day, it leaves those of us who have a true understanding of life with total empowerment. The book is also full of suspense, drama and even intense action.

I have just finished the book "Random Excess:" and recommend it to any Corel stockholder past, present or future. The author lined up his ducks and asked a lot of the right questions from the right people. Very interesting reading and it certainly fills in much of the information that went on behind the scenes.

As a Corel shareholder who has been expending considerable effort researching my investment, I found this book to be invaluable. Ross Laver has obviously done his homework in writing this in depth account of the exploits of Mike Cowpland. His investigative talents shine through as he pieces together the independent accounts of the Corel CEO, his friends, family, and business associates. The author walks you through Dr. Cowpland's life as an objective narrator, with a discipline which avoids personal speculation or judgement but which instead relies on as much factual information as he can derive from his many reliable sources. Ross digs deep for the details. The book's main focus is the business life of Micheal Cowpland, particularly while at Corel, offering an up close view of inner happenings. One gets the feeling while reading of actually being there with Cowpland as he tries to conquer the hi-tech world. If you want to learn about the inner workings of Corel, not to mention the inner workings of Cowpland's psyche, then you should read this book. I can't imagine a better source than this for a complete, well rounded, detailed, and objective picture.

Ross Laver does an admirable job of trying to put ten years of chaos in context. He's a little too kind to Mike and his idiotic band of senior yes-men. In particular he fails to highlight the fact that most of his senior people are totally unsuited for their positions.
