JGoren: For fun. My first investment was Texas Instruments. Two shares in the early 60's. I now own lots. No way am I saying that TXN is on the wrong side. I am just curious. If you will look back on the SI Texas Instruments thread you will see me asking what is TI's involvement in CDMA. Still unanswered. Curous, no? Is it that no one knows? Or is it of no consequence. That is absurd on its face, of course, so why? Best. Chaz PS Just to be clear. Qualcomm is roughly half what I own, TXN is not - but no way will I sell either.

An interesting sidelight. Back in early 1997 I was trying to learn something about CDMA. I did a web search and there was not much there. One thing I did find was that a unit of Sanders Associates (in turn a sub of Rockwell)was conducting CDMA field tests in a suburb of Pittsburgh. I checked the Sanders site occasionally to see if anything was happening. One day back in mid 1997 there was a message on the site saying that the unit including personnel and technology had been sold to CSCO. Jim Fleming
