And GMST is running Circles around all the other also rans. And is likely to continue in the same vein. Thanks to you, I had the fortitude and the information to stay long for a long long time.

I'd like to toss in his essays "Self-Reliance", as well as "Man, The Creator". Questions on the 900 MHz paging system. Is the one-way system up and running? Is syncronization an issue for customers who receive the signal through their cable operator as well as through wireless? My thought is when two-way communications are in place, timing will be an important issue to ensure what is received coorelates to what is transmitted by a customer. I thought PageNet was an analog paging company. If this is true, does it make sense for GMST to strike an alliance with a digital paging company, or does the fact that a digital service provider will stream the signal right inside the feed make this a non-issue?
