Any thoughts?

Nokia's strategy will be based on a new standard called
GPRS. "GPRS does for mobile what DSL or T1 does for
the PC -- it creates a constant state of on," says
Sandelin. "You don't have to dial up and log on to check
your email or see the Internet."

He went on to show slides with Internet phones,
wireless tablet devices and mobile PDAs based on
3Com's (COMS:Nasdaq) Palm operating system.

Sandelin also shot down rumors that Nokia was having
component shortages. "There are no shortages of
components," he said tersely. "There are tightnesses,
but no shortage. We will meet the goals that we have
set for ourselves. Twenty-four months ago, it was
impossible to get components. I know that other
companies have talked about shortages, I don't know if
they didn't make the right plans or don't have the
purchasing power we have, but availability is in line with
the plans that we have."

Sandelin also suggested that Wall Street-style
accountability has permeated Nokia's culture. "Certainly
at Nokia, we don't say, 'I didn't get that because I wasn't
at my desk,'" he said. "That doesn't fly anymore, and
some of you may have found that excuse doesn't work
for you anymore either."

Thanks to all the veterans today.

When the Korean war ended, I had just finished my sophomore year of college. I knew that those crafty Koreans would start another war by attacking through the Fulda gap in Germany if I did not stop them, so I signed up for the Army and got myself assigned to Germany. I spent from 1954 to 1956 as a "Remington Raider", pounding a typewriter for an Ordnance company. During the time I was there, not one Korean tried to cross through the Fulda Gap! (They knew I was waiting.)

This was my contribution to saving Western Civilization, Spud, and I thank you for your acknowledgement of my sacrifice. I know I did not do as much as
George Bush,Jr., or Al Gore, but hey, it was the best I could do!

Good to know some of the younger folks remember.

My Dad and uncles served in WWII; have older relatives from WWI, brother, Korea.

On their behalf, thanks.

Yes Happy VD! Thank you to all the Veterans. Thank you to my husband a who served in the Gulf War. I am so very proud of him.

I also want to congratulate him. He has been out of work for a month. Laid off from a job he hated, found something that pays more and is more up his alley, more chance for advancement.
