Just on the symbolism of the Wireless Knowledge joint venture being announced at Redmond instead of Sorrento Valley. QUALCOMM going to Redmond is a bit like the Trojan horse going into the opposition camp. I'm sure Microsoft will want to gain the upper hand in the arrangements. It better fits the quiet QUALCOMM approach to accept the invitation and be a Greek bearing gifts to the Redmond kings. [Hastening to add that I'm no history buff so that is probably a rotten bunch of analogies]. Anyway, much more fun to go up there and enter the Lion's Den, fossick around and see what you can find. Mqurice *OT* Incidentally, I used to work as a waiter at the Sorrento on the slopes of One Tree Hill while learning about Fourier analysis and wave functions at engineering school. One Tree Hill is a mystical place with an obelisk on the summit, reminiscent of the Washington Monument but about 1:20 scale model. Maoris used to have their Tamaki tribal headquarters and fortifications there. There used to be a 400 year old Totara [a tree] on top until some barbaric Pommy migrants came along and cut it down. Now there is an old pine tree there. A Maori had a go at cutting it down 4 years ago - Mike Smith is his name so you can see apartheid is having the same problem here as it does elsewhere - that damn interbreeding! He got some piffling fine or community service 'sentence'. Now the stupid council has spent a bunch of money bandaging it, tying it up with wires so it doesn't blow over and building a tough protection fence around it. They should plant another Totara and pay for nurturing it to full size. A good project for Y2K. Also put a Globalstar Gateway up there too! They would look so cool. How's the meeting going? While you wait, you can check: webcam.co.nz If you go there and click on Devon for "Devonport" you can see a picture of Auckland today. It's a nice day! Better go outside. The tallest building is the Skytower. With a rotating restaurant - once around per hour. You'd be able to see One Tree Hill if you were up there! A couple of days ago you'd have seen a herd of dolphins hanging out in the harbour. The Piha camera seems to be stuck in August so it is a bit dark and cold looking.
