You have to be fast to beat Michael Piturro to the punch Jack. I suppose this will be announcement of a HDR system for Sprint's cdmaOne network. That will make ATT and their TDMA network look archaic. But maybe it's something else. Let's hope the pdQ can go on the network too if it is that. That's enough to explain some excitement in the Q! share price. I suppose millions of people in the USA buying ThinPhones makes them figure they like the product so buy the stock. Same as IDEC hit a new all time high today of $130, up from $2 four years ago on the strength of Rituxan sales for low grade Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma - I suppose customers of IDEC try it, like it and figure they might as well buy the company. Jon, on the UPS and Fedex thing, sure it saves beating one's brains out, but what 'It' is about is a high speed evolutionary race with survival of the fittest. I'm happy to compete and am very happy with the result = Q! Beats UPS any day. Or even the USA Postal Service. I saw today that stamps are now to be printed by your own puter with codes and electronics controlling it all. Stick your coded stamp on your letter and off it goes! The puters in the Post Office will check the letters for unique ID and send them on their way. We need a list of disintermediated people. There go the stamp makers, sellers, artists, distributors, glue makers, thieves, paper suppliers, ink merchants and a bevy of bureaucrats. Watch the banking industry scramble when they see 724 Solutions loom over the horizon with Qq in their WWWeb devices. Insurance. Air travel agents. Brokers. All sorts. Mqurice
