Frank, << What a clueless jerk. Dr. J hasn't made one statement in the time I've been following Q that wasn't dead on or understated. >> Thought you might like this quote: "Perhaps Irwin Jacobs is a master salesman. On the other hand, many CDMA critics sound like the old vacuum tube aficionados who couldn't bring themselves to accept new-fangled transistors. The good news is that this technology war will be settled by the market -- not the government technocrats who made GSM a mandatory standard throughout Europe." It was from a letter to the editor of the WSJ written by Ira Brodsky who has authored several books on wireless. It was written back in 1996, several months before CDMA launched commercial in the US: cdg.org Caxton Rhodes came up with the original article called Are Claims Hope or Hype? that Brodsky was responding to: Message 13865639 Worth a read. Some things do not change. - Eric -

<<Why did they drop Intel from the list???>> "The past 12 months haven't been cruel to Intel Corp. (INTC), No. 43 in the 1999 Info Tech list but a no-show in this year's ranking. Profits are up nearly 30%, and its stock doubled. But Intel's sales grew much more slowly than the chip industry's 19% clip. That's because demand for the most powerful chips is soft, since even dirt-cheap PCs have enough power for Web surfing and basic programs. Now the world's biggest semiconductor company is expanding beyond PCs into chips used for networking gear, wireless phones, and Internet appliances. If it works, Intel could shine again in the IT 100." tekboy/Ares@AMDis#36.com
