Hi Bill, I believe the activation fee is $15 and then $10 bucks a month. $120 a year for quality sound, news etc seams doable to me. My radio & CD player have been down for a year, but I was one minute from work. I just moved into a new house (sucked most of my stock money) and now I have a 25 minute drive. So there are now 50 (lets round it to 60) minutes of travel time where I can listen to Bloomberg on XM. So it appears to me that I'm paying less than .10 per minute for consistent programming (not including equipment cost). I'll take it... I never invested in Iridium and only witnessed it in use while on a trip to South American. I bet it was more than .10 per minute. I did lose my ass on ORB, so I hear you on "Satellite Failures". Believe me all this rolled through my mind as I was making my purchase this morning. Here is how it went down. I went to the XM website and put in my zip to see whom the dealer was. Called and got a young guy. He gave me the options on the radios, said they would get antenna’s next week but he had a working demo. So I ran down and he began the music show, I said take it to the news. He did and I told him sold. I thought there was some real weakness in the equipment. For example, only six presets available and you can't just punch in the channel number (maybe it was just the brand they sold). So to go from station 5 to 95 seamed to be a labor-intensive task. My mind says, "Hey who missed the rest of the technology"? Anyway, I'm the 1st in our town and many will benefit from my experience as usual. <smile> I'll take you up on a copy of that report. Would a fax # be easier? FWIW, my local MS Guy said they are looking for $35? Lots of Truckers and big time commuters out there, and maybe more to come now with all the noise in the airports. FWIW Keith@LostInSpace

Bill, This news is a positive for KOPN and CNXT is there biggest HBT wafer customer. If CNXT starts to by again, KOPN will be hitting on 2 of its three cylinders. It just needs NT to start buying VSCEL's again. I expect some tract in 2H 2002 if the nT guidance is any indication. Strong support for KOPN is at 10, but I doubt it will pull back to that level when the market re-traces to alleviate the overbought condition. 13:48 ET Conexant (CNXT) 14.55 +0.24 (+1.7%): Hearing that the company has reaffirmed 3-5% sequential growth for the current quarter versus Street estimates at 3.3% sequential growth; company says inventories for wireless and PC chips back to normal.
