Chaz, I don't know what the tax consequences are for option holders due to the spinoff. I treated the LWIN spinoff as a taxable dividend, but I had the stock, not the option. Hassell

If your question is : Does the re-ticker symboling of the option change the start date for the holding period for my ownership of the option (formerly LEAP) ? Then the answer is NO. If that wasn't your question -- never mind. (And if someone else has already answered your question ... you are right -- I have not been reading every post lately). Jon.

724 That isn't meant to be an obscure reference, but I bet it is to most people. Check out this, compliments of a Canuck who has well-peeled eyes. 724solutions.com In there you will see the idea of wireless money movement from Bank of America, 724 Solutions, 3Com, Qualcomm [there's our favourite company again] and others. This is dangerously close to EudoraCoin [TM] and they have been working on it since 1997, which is more or less two years ago. Imagine how much money moves around the world. Visa, Diners and all those other money moving mechanisms from the dark ages are likely to become like horseshoes, still in use but not really mainstream transport solutions anymore. Q! will be at the centre of the enabling technology based on their encryption, cdma2000, pdQ, MSM5000 and other wizardry. Add in WirelessKnowledge. Compared with that, cdmaOne handset sales, MSM3000 sales, OmniTRACS sales and cdmaOne royalties will be as exciting to Q! investors in 3 years as OmniTRACS sales are to investors today. Qdog, you can't REALLY think that Q! is yesterday's news? The New Paradigm hasn't even begun. Think back to how you saw the world in 1899 and how it looked a mere 30 years later . We are on the threshold of much more spectacular developments. Mqurice [Yes, yes, I know that 30 years would mean 1929 and all that implies, but things had improved, overall]. <724 Solutions Inc. is a privately held company established in 1997 to conceive, design and deliver Internet software applications enabling "anytime, anywhere, any way" access to trusted banking and investment services. 724 Solutions has developed alliances with leading software developers and hardware manufacturers, including Phone.com (formerly Unwired Planet), 3Com/Palm Computing, Qualcomm, Neopoint (formerly Innovative Global Solution [IGS]), and Certicom. > I heard three weeks ago that the pdQ was THEN shipping out to somewhere or other. The photos in that 724 site suggests they might know where some of these pdQ devices actually are. I'm sure Irwin Jacobs tomorrow will be interested in saying something about where all this will lead. He won't just be interested in the concatenations compared with the chip rate [though I'd like to see that covered too].
