SurferM, Fantasies should be kept safely tucked away to be brought out in pleasant night time dreams. Craig MacGaw and $ill Gates will NOT pumps gazillions or Qillions of moolah into your kit bag via Globalstar. Globalstar Constellation1 will NOT become a data carrier. It is suitable only for voice and piffling amounts of data, such as the odd fax or email. It will NOT be suitable for even very slow WWeb. Constellation2 will be tolerable, but still only 384kbps or thereabouts. Globalstar subscribers will be able to access the WWeb via their Globalstar devices and the 384 speed will be okay for most WWeb things. But brute force WWeb users will want the fat pipelines from Skybridge and other satellites. $ill and MacGaw are thinking in terms of multimegabits per second so that super duper full flowing images gush across the screens at low cost. Loral can help out with that. Teledesic can do it but that is still a year or three away which is a longgggggg time in Webtime. Now it might be quite another story with Loral; you might well find your cash flow forecasts vastly improved in a short time, but I hasten to add, I have never studied Loral so don't have a clue other than they are a data transmission bunch of satellites called Skybridge and stuff like that. It certainly won't hurt. I wrote a rant on the Globalstar thread in regard to $ill Gates new vision/mission statement "Paradigm Shift Happens [TM]" explaining it. Message 11897332 I hope you kept the faith with Q! and are holding on as with both hands, knuckles as white going up as going down at the current rate of ascent. $692 per share presplit. I guess we reached 200/2/2000 which I bet you thought was overly optimistic at the time. I thought it might be a stretch. That was before Ericy caved. That's the view from upside down, Mqurice
