How long are the QCOM festivities going on down there? It sounds like there are a few people from SI attending. JXM

Any ball with the Qcom logo should be equipped with a transponder which, using differential GPS, should ensure it is never lost. -AJ

<AmericaOne, sponsored by SAIC did really well - bad luck Rich Belanger! Next time, with the huge asset value growth SAIC is getting and their investments, they should be able to sponsor something REALLY serious. Prada's $100m will look a joke.> I like SAIC's formula: buy a fledgling company for $5M, spin it off as NSOL but keep 90% of the shares, then sit back watch it grow until, a few short years later, someone else gobbles it up for $21,000. That's a 4200-banger folks. And here we thought we were doing well with the Q! Actually, SAIC starting liquidating too soon. So they'll only reap a few billion instead of 21. But they are not as free to throw money at a boat campaign as Mr. Prada-Bertelli. SAIC execs are accountable, presumably, to the employee-owners. Whatever, the Kiwis reign. They are awesome. Auckland's investment in waterfront improvements will be secure for years to come. Rich

Thankyou Maurice for your very thoughtful reply. By the way apostrophe is spelt with an r in it. The computer you were using obviously has a problem also. Never mind I leave out apostrophies because like many minor things in the english language they really are a waste of time. When somebody is speaking to me I don't imagine the apostrophe or the speech marks for that matter and writing could be the same.Then again with the written word I suppose one can appear rather inarticulate, but I thought we did not have to worry about that anymore as I am being observed at this very moment thanks to the mighty Q's new invention. Now as you can see I do look rather intelligent and this is just my semi concentrated look. How about this one............that is my knowing thoughtful expression laced with a little mirth. You can purchase mirth control pills from your local pharmacy. Golf glove!! I call them gropers grips. Notice how they sell either left ones or right ones, they obviously think all golfers have a handicap! I have got two hands and gloves should come in pairs, we are not all minus a hand and that should not be taken in an off-handed way. That is just another golfers armless joke. whoop's sp-elling. Q meeting sounded good but I am not sure about the Q ball? Did I.J. mention anything about Globalstar? They are certainly a bargain at 16 and I have been accumulating. Well no more of this persiflage, photos looked great and yes it was Anita TM that caused the distraction. The village was very exciting and the Italians were very gracious in defeat. The atmosphere was one of total conviviality. The only problem being is that we won so convincingly who is going to have the fecundity to raise a decent challenge? Johnno.
