re: << Spin ... >> Is when ... ... for whatever purpose ... ... one changes "millions" ... ... to "millions and millions". << What the [expletive deleted] was this exchange all about, then? >> It appears that back in June I apologized to you and the board for duplicating a post (which I edited out with the explanation."DUP My apologies") ... which I guess goes to show that on occasion, I am capable of delivering an apology, but not when one spins millions into millions and millions ... This is the post made 4 minutes after the first and which was left standing (after DUP removal) in response to your Qualcomm commercial: Message 16004006 In that post I made this statement: A slide from the recent CEO Road Show showed 5% of handsets (can't remember if that was units or $) said that GPRS shipments would approximate 5% of total. I just went back to look at that slide which was titled "Packet Switching Penetrates Quickly The Subscriber Base". The slide actually projected unit "Annual Terminal Volumes By Phone Generation" (2G, 2.5G, 3G WCDMA) and it showed 2.5G Packet switched phones (which in Nokese would include 1xRTT as 2.5G along with GPRS) as generating 5% of unit shipments (industry wide) in 2001 (and 29% in 2002). << Feel free to spin it any way you want, Eric >> If and when you see me inadvertently attempting to spin "millions" into "millions and millions", please advise, and I'll no doubt react with an apology to you and to the board, or at least a thank you to you, and an apology to the board. - Eric -
