Pierre: "What a guy! I'll settle for a peek at your collection of muscle cars. I think I know where you can get some hands free connect anywhere phone kits for those monsters ... cheap." You should have come down to Del Mar Fairgrounds this last weekend. There was a Rod and Custom Show going at the track.. Instead of making Satellite Phone Calls in Mexico.. I had a couple of them down their.. The 59 Corvette, and the 69 Indy Pace Car.. Connect Anywhere phone kits.. Gee that sounds a little non-standard equipment for this era of autos.. "how do you see this playing out now? Any explanation at all for BLS's announcement?" The only way to compete with Iridium is to have a debt load like Iridium... Bondholders have 1.5 billion in debt.. QCOM/LOR have 1.5 Billion in Debt. Seems like they may divide it up amongst themselves!! At any rate.. I think BLS is forcing the bondholders hands at this point... This is where I would have expected some sort of "payment-in-kind" offer.. But, it looks like a no show.. IMO PCSTEL

Pierre: Starbucks is now worth more than PALM and AMCC combined.. You have gotta love this market.. It's kind of like Trading Cards... Let's see.. I will trade you a chain of stores that siphon hot water thru coffe beans whose end product sells at obscene prices.. For the premier maker of Handheld Computing Platforms, and associated IPR, in addition.. I will throw in a company that develops, manufactures and markets high-performance, high-bandwidth silicon solutions for the world's optical networks. AND I KNOW that I still owe you something too boot.. To round it out.. I will also give you TERN which develops, markets and sells broadband access systems that enable cable operators and other providers of broadband access services to deploy reliable two-way broadband services over cable, copper wire and wireless systems. (A Gilder favorite).. And two of the premier DVD MPEG-3, 4 development companies.. ESST, and ZRAN.. Sounds Fair.. SBUX in exchange for PALM, AMCC, TERN, ZRAN, and ESST.. Nahhh!! I would wait until you can get INTC and MSFT thrown in! EDIT.. I just checked the USPTO... and I think even INTC and MSFT thrown in are not worth the trade.. SBUX has too many good patents.. On things like Lighting Fixtures, Serving Cups, and of course the grand daddy patent of them all.. Patent #4,790,239.. System for brewing and serving a hot beverage Abstract A method and system for brewing one or more hot beverages, such as gourmet coffees. The gourmet coffee is brewed, at a brewing temperature, in the liners of a brewing urn. After brewing, the coffee can be transferred to any one of three storage tanks by means of manual or solenoid valves, and, if desired, a gravity-assist pump. The shelf-life of the brewed coffee is increased substantially when stored at a serving temperature which is lower than the brewing temperature. Coffee contained in feed lines leading from each of the storage tanks passes through a pressurizing line to a tap tower located to provide efficient service to the coffee-purchasing customers. Hot water from the water jacket of the brewing urn is circulated in hot water lines retained in close proximity to the feed lines between storage tanks and the tap tower, thereby keeping the coffee in the feed lines at a desirable serving temperature. A control panel connected to level sensors in each of the storage tanks provides visible and audible indications to the operator that the supply of coffee in a particular storage tank is running out, so that the operator can brew a new batch of coffee. When the empty volume in a particular storage tank is adequate to store an additional full batch of freshly brewed coffee, the operator receives a second visible indication from the control panel. The operator can control pumps and valves from the control panel and can read the temperature of the coffee in each of the storage tanks. LOL!! PCSTEL
