The problem with QCOM is that a lot of their existing "assets" may have to be written down drastically (not only by that amount, but also by greater amounts that are circuits worth much less today than when they were installed). Oh god, Zeev - hope that's not Freudian. <vbg> Pierre

Hey Zeev, when a company invests in a P4 to replace their PII so that winbloze boots up in 2 minutes instead of 4 minutes, is that a CAPEX expenditure or a maintenance expenditure? <g> As an aside, regardless of what some of you ludites think, there definitely are some efficiencies gained in upgrading to a faster computer, depending on the tasks undertaken. For example, when compiling reports with data and photos, the productivity gained is well worth the expenditure IMTO.
