Ha ha ha! Bux can't even find the Neopoint
prospectus at the SEC site on his own. How
can he ever be wrong? For Bux, being right
or wrong is not even important. He just
wants to turn this board into a boring but
sincere contest of will: either he is the
asshole or the rest of us are the assholes!
The bigger question is how a smarter guy like
Molloy, who doesn't even know how to read the
notes on a financial statement, always end up
consistently on that side of that contest
regarding a stock like IDC which is obviously
a turnaround story and not an earnings story
just yet.
% of R&D or Product Development to Total Sales:
Year Sales R&D
1995 $ 85.0 $ 9.7 11%
1996 53.7 21.6 40%
1997 43.9 24.0 55%
1998 99.2 17.2 17%
1999 61.4 12.2 20% (9 mos)
It's fair to say that at IDC, cash is burning
in the right area and with the right partner.
Meet Nokia and its strangely mathematical
form and function rhythms.
Nokia extended its lead as the world's biggest
cellular phone maker, boosting global market
share to 26.9 percent last year from 22.5
percent in 1998, Dataquest said.
Nokia's gains came at the expense of its
biggest rivals, Motorola Inc. and Ericsson AB,
which held on to the No. 2 and No. 3 spots,
respectively. Motorola's share slipped to 16.9
percent from 19.5 percent, while Ericsson's
fell to 10.5 percent from 15.1 percent.
Finland's Nokia extended its lead by beating
competitors to market with new models and with
its extensive distribution channels, Dataquest
said. It sold 76 million of the total 284 million
phones sold in 1999. The market is expected to
pass 410 million units in 2000, Dataquest said.

What's the average age in Nokia?
The average age is 32 years. Last year we
added 12,000 people on top of the 44,000
people and if you add people in age of 21 to
28, the average age remains low and this is
essential in a business that changes very fast.
