I am not sure how to do the "to Jon, from Jon" posting, (which is probably the correct designation for this post), so I'll say this is for Maurice.

In case anyone is interested, I learned from somewhere (I cannot remember where) that California has a website where one can check all existing "vanity" license plates to see if one that you want is already taken ! It immediately occurred to me to start checking for plates that had an obvious connection to Qualcomm (GO CDMA (?)). Last time I checked (quite a few months ago), I was surprised how few there were (at least amongst the permutations I came up with).

It is possible that it is only after a company reaches the obnoxious stage (like, I have read, Oracle Systems did, for a while) that there would be a huge proliferation of vanity plates. (I personally have thought about getting a Florida plate with some silly Qualcomm related message, but would probably not actually do it until Qualcomm's share price is sharply higher). Thus, if anyone wants to follow this California list, maybe it will be an early warning sign someday that the exponential rise in QCOM is about to plateau.

The URL is plates.ca.gov
