Milinx was a culmination of over a decade of work. It was named as a derivative of Minix, a Unix OS used to develop the original ASP SaaS server in 1988 by SuccessInc. As well the AssuredCard and AssuredCredit technology were merged into Milinx which provided it a head start on the Hosted Online Payment Gateway and Hosted Portal SaaS, PaaS and IaaS services which Milinx further developed and operated.
During my tenure as CEO from 1997-2001 Milinx was an innovation and development powerhouse. The company, governance, financial and strategic direction were solid and successful. This site represents the state of the company while I was President & CEO. SuccessInc, AssuredCredit, AssuredCard & Milinx content was pulled directly from website archive links, uspto.gov, sec.gov, news releases and other independent sites and documents. On January 29, 2002 I resigned as Chairman.

NOTE: On August 30, 2001 based on legal advice I left as President and CEO after 14 years of research, development and disruptive innovations. The next stages of ASP SaaS to PaaS and IaaS would need to wait a few more years before these innovations appeared again. I had disagreed with the direction of the new management team approved by shareholders which excluded officers or directors voting shares. Milinx had already exceeded 30,000 active users for a cutting edge technology. The pivot ultimately caused the collapse of the project and operational market entity. The new management had requested that I stay on as Chairman to deal with corporate governance issues. On January 29, 2002 I resigned as Chairman and formed a foundation called MarkCrest to continue with future endeavors and to support innovators and inventors worldwide.
