The search function works: <...And what would you think, Maurice, if Globalstar came out with the "Get IT here" rather that Qualcomm? And would you not be pleased, from afar in cyberspace, that your thoughts in the marketing realm reached not only a group in Geneva, but also a group worldwide? > Look, Message 18024506 Verizon has adopted "Get It Now" as a marketing phrase. That's remarkably similar to GetIt Here. I haven't been offered royalties. Yes, it's nice to see ideas adopted [not that they copied - not that I know anyway, though I did suggest GetIT Here to QUALCOMM way back then]. <...Consider the Oboe (forget Banshees, Vampires, Mummies and all things deadly as when they arrive, the Oboe is at its loudest)... The Oboe is an instrument (IMHO) of impending doom, a foreshadowing of deadly things to come. I hate the Oboe more than any other instrument on earth as its sound is the birth of fear. Yet, when apathy runs the electronic wires of this media, one does not need multimedia speakers to hear the oboe, as its chorus takes root in the thinking process. One leaves the terminal with doubt, impending doom, and must rejuvenate by means of silencing the oboe. It is very difficult, even for those who (as I do) clearly see the cup as half full.... > With the Nasdaq nearly down to 1,000 again and other markets swooning, the Oboe does seem to resonating around the world. Meanwhile, 3D is sunshiny and beautiful. Leaves glistening, sky the sharp New Zealand blue [it's hazy in most other countries]. Clouds fluffy white, sharply defined. Spring has sprung. Daffodils, lambs gamboling, ducklings growing quickly. Mqurice
