Marty, We can't keep politics off the boards because politics is interwoven with Qualcomm, Globalstar, WirelessKnowledge buddy Microsoft and a lot more besides. Bernie Schwartz and Irwin Jacobs have had close association with Gore, Clinton and co. Just as well too I'd say. Brent Scowcroft, ex National Security Advisor for Bush [I think] is on the board. George Bush is also a buddy of Q! people [I think]. So, hopefully, Q! will have the backing of whichever party rules the Presidency and will keep Jokesters like Senator Lott Of Laughs out of the WWeb business. It would be better to keep politics out of business than business out of politics. Of course both will always be part of the other and that's how the world works. Politics, politics, politics! Irwin Jacobs received the Medal For Technology and has received other support from USA politicians and glad of it I am. Right now, I think, despite quite a few misgivings, that I'd much rather have Al Gore as President than George Bush. I worry about his worrying about "The Environment" but Bush The Younger is a worry too. For CDMA, it seems that Q!'s great achievements will over-ride any political inputs as they are streets ahead of the VW40, Bleeding EDGE and GSM 3G fantasies. So technology and economics will rule. Nokia claims to be going to win in CDMA. That means they'll have to be big-time in the MC-CDMA style, and soon! It would be wise not to mention politics on the Q! Moderated Thread and Ramsey is allergic to politics [so he has a constant rash as he can't avoid it] so any mention of political matters could earn rapid eviction! This is now the I Love Al Gore stream. Mqurice
