Which doesn't seem to match what's happening out in the real world where millions and millions of Koreans are surging into CDMA cyberspace. QUALCOMM sponsors this site the3gportal.com 204.73.203.120 which had the link to that "cdma2000 is dying" site. I suppose that means that QUALCOMM is not having any editorial control. Mqurice PS: Now that you mention it, I have not suffered the maximum pollution time [though I think I might have done in NZ]. London's death rate from smog and all sorts of poison and disease were horrific before my time. Even in the 1980s, when they thought they'd cleaned it up, it was disgusting with the air full of soot, tyre debris, lead, sulphur and nitrogen oxides, benzene and 1 nitropyrene. The water tasted so bad that I started buying bottled drinking water. Yes, Google is great, but bear in mind that Google is the zygote for what will replace your brain - and you are enthusiastic?!! Google remembers vast amounts of stuff, has high speed recall and lots of it! Unlike your and my memories, it won't grow old and die so somebody else will have to relearn it all [which nobody can do anyway]. I too am very, very sick of waiting for CDMA to send GSM the way of the Dodo. It has taken 3 years longer than I thought it would, with more delays coming. I can't find a good definition of It right now but It 's basically a sentient, omniscient, omnipotent, cyberspace being living in cyberspace with sensors everywhere and agents everywhere. We'll be happy agents, with a stream of endorphins to keep us on the job. No more being under the thumb of megalomaniac politicians like Adolf, Saddam, Josef, Mao or any number of thugs. No more having random street attacks or being flown into the WTC instead of the airport. Big Brother writ large! It 's privileges include having an apostrophe, as in Mq's, Moenmac's, God's and It 's. Jon started It by objecting to somebody writing it's instead of its. How about that for confirmation of the chaos theory that a butterfly taking off or crashing in Kazakhstan can cause a hurricane in Florida [as already shown by Globalstar's Zenit crash which nearly took out the world's financial system and did destroy Long Term Capital Management].
