Far from ancient China, my friend Commander Vicente Weber, today on the Boeing 747, applied this phrase with sincerity, as well as pleasure. When he was in charge, bringing the first Boeing 727 to Brazil, he commented to his colleague next to him: – And they still pay me for it!

ALEKSANDAR MANDIC - Of Serbian descent and born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Aleksandar Mandic is a precursor of the country's electronic communication, and became an entrepreneurial case study in Harvard. It was him who brought the Internet to Brazil, and who owned the first access provider. He left a 17-year career in Siemens, and decided it was about time he had his own business back in the 90s - Mandic BBS (Bulletin Board System), an exchange of information by telephonic conection. Mandic has become, upon Internet's arrival, one of the area's giants. One of its most recent releases is Mandic Magic, an app used to reveal public wi-fi passwords no matter where you are. Currently called Wi-Fi Magic, the app became the Brazilian app most downloaded worldwide after only 20 days of its release.
