Tito, CEO's should pay the company for the honor of holding the job. 7 figure salaries 400x that of the average worker are gross. Yes they were rock stars in the 90s. No more. mike

AMAT YoYo Demo —— the Cell phone is fast becoming the thing a person can not afford to be without. Even the poor, by improvising can operate one at affordable cost. Last week my niece from the Philippines, a poor country, emailed me this short message using the Cell phone of her daughter attending Elementary school: —- “Uncle Tito, grandma received mom's visa documents (Ellah)” It cost her probably 20 cents to send the not more than 160 characters in length message to me in the US ( 2 cents only if destination is Locally). Over there, it's free to receive calls or messages in Cell phones. I answered with this email to her daughter's Cell phone: —- Ellah, apply as nurse or teacher, 1 million Filipinos gain work abroad annually. Make sure grandma's US passport still OK (uncle tito) In subsequent emails using short messages, I told her I read from Internet editions of the country's newspapers that even Filipino Doctors are going back to school to finish Nursing (probably takes only a year for a doctor to finish nursing). Doctors there receive from 300 to 800 dollars a month while in California, the starting salaries for nurses is 5,000 dollars a month. That figures. My niece works as a Nurse-teacher in the central Elementary school in town at around 200 dollars a month. Texas Instruments-Philippines supply DSP chips to 100% of Nokia's Cell phones and 80% of that of Ericsson's Cell phones. Of course the DSP chips are made using AMAT's Chip Equipment machines.
