Maurice, I don't know much about New Zealand cheese. Is it made from sheep milk? It may be our powerful cowboy lobby causing the restrictions on cheese & lamb imports.I agree that the USA has double standards when it comes to free trade and human rights. We agreed to disagree about microsoft a long time ago. I think we better stick to the agreement. Even with a bandwidth glut, it's irresponsible to waste it on that debate. I don't think you have to worry about Judge Jackson or the DOJ going after the mighty Q. Qualcomm is and will continue to be a model of the responsible use of great economic power. It is starting to cool off a bit up here and the daylight hours shrinking rapidly. Don't really think of Juneau as being way up north, but everything is relative. We don't migrate like Canadian Geese, we usually make several mini-migrations to break up the winter gloom. When the market realizes the value of qcom I may quit working and start migrating between hemispheres. Until then I will cruise the net with my Macintosh using Netscape. Microsoft free computing Pete

Not funny, but I just saw a report about a couple that retire to a 300 arce farm in upstate New York and started to raise sheep. They have built it into a business that now includes cheeses from sheeps milk and other products like yogurt. Lost in your argument about the US Mqrice, the EU is flexing it's anti-monopoly muscle as well and it's protective trade practices. EU disallowed Worldcom's/Sprint deal and is now saber rattling about the AOL/Time Warner deal, all based on monopoly laws. They were also going to go after Mr Softie, but the US beat them to the punch. QCOM will never be a monopoly.......
