Tero, >>"Actually there was a fleeting moment when this thread had an ounce of class. That would be the Mr. Fun post. It was a ray of light penetrating the perpetual night of doctrinary obfuscation"<< Don't be so hard on yourself. We can see through your obfuscation. Seriously, do you know if Nokia is planning to build phones for the US market based on 1XRTT or any 2.5G CDMA implementation? Pete

Actually, I wasn't meaning to suggest that Finns live in igloos. I was just thinking of the dark nights around the world and the bleak conditions which people live in and how WWeb will help them. Eskimos [Inuit in American] and igloos are one of the most extreme examples which really captures my imagination. inac.gc.ca It shows the infinite flexibility of human ingenuity and mind. Heck, even living in New York would stretch me. Imagine stacking so many million people with conflicting ideologies in 20 storey buildings. They seem happy enough; a slight exaggeration. We were driving around a slum area and suddenly we realized it wasn't a slum, it was deluxe upmarket Soho. Very few people. But there were VERY expensive things in the shops. Then mind travel [or WWeb travel in 3D if you have it in Finland] to Bombay and see what it's like at Victoria Station at rush hour. True beauty is sitting on the edge of Lac Leman at sunset on the vine covered hills around Chexbres with contrails in the blue sky and yachts gently sliding over the still water with the majestic snow covered Alps in a chocolate box backdrop. A shame we can't all live like that. Or in Auckland. Then again, I'd swap a good chunk of Auckland for a decent WWeb 3D stereophonic system fully encrypted at 2 Megabits per second mobile. I bet the Eskimos would trade a ton of blubber for such a system too. Imagine downloading Baywatch in the Arctic night. Imagine the dissatisfaction and social dislocation when that happens! Or maybe it would be fun. Who knows how the human mind might work? Look at SI. Even with the wisdom of correspondents such as your humble servant, others' minds don't see things quite the same.
