Ron - If you look at this post from SSB presentation in Sept. Thornely said the following: "Closing, balance sheet is very strong. Cash position is 2.6 billion. Liquid position, 1 billion generated a year in operating cash flow. 800 million in commitments going forward. Looking to future expect to be free cash flow positive. In future considering options of what to do with cash." I think that basically means they are thinking of paying a dividend anyway. If the tax change goes through it is even more likely. Given the cash, and cash generating power, Qualcomm is a potential "dividend paying company". But I can take the hint and pass on the tax discussion for awhile without getting Dr. No involved. <g> Tom Message 17950711
