Re: To help you understand that, think of your arm being bitten by a mosquito, and now by a pack of hyenas. Which would be worse? [Let's assume the mosquito doesn't have malaria or AIDS etc.]

Excellent chess, sir. You saw one step ahead and checked. I admire that in a fellow, the ability to think ahead.

That said, I'm delighted by your post in general. It's one of the most sensible things you've written in ages.

And, oh, about Margaret Hassan, the Irish-Arabian woman who was so ruthlessly and brutally treated by her captors.....
thinking about this on a qui bono? basis, wouldn't it make sense to think of this as quite likely a false flag operation run by Mossad or the C.I.A.? Frankly, rumors that the Arab insurgents are ferociously blood-thirsty murderers of women and children is awfully convenient propaganda for the regimes that actually are ruthlessly murdering innocent women and children in Gaza, Ramallah and Fallujah. Don't you think?

Hello Maurice,
I bought for home ...
(a) myxda.com GSM tri-band dual SIM, GPRS/WiFi/Bluetooth-enabled, QWERTY slideout keyboard, and some accessories (cool bluetooth ear piece, extra cradle, etc)

(b) HP PC @ 3 GHz, 1 GByte RAM, 3 x 160 GByte HDD, all around sound, laserjet printer, scanner, etc package

(c) Commercial grade wide-coverage Wireless LAN Router
(d) 2 x 2 Gbyte flash card
(e) 13 in 1 memory card reader
(f) All latest software for MS Office, MS Front Page, Norton System Works, AS Anti-Hacker, Adobe Acrobat and Photoshop, plus plus

(g) Upgrading broadband to 6M, including 63 TV channels, all via ADSL

(h) Cool Timberland urban backpack, leather jacket, go-everywhere anyhow outfits, etc - uniform for 2005

Old PC had the fortunate :0) usual harddrive problem, but fully-backed up, will be turned over to wife ;0)

I will not transfer existing PC to wife's side of the partners' desk until my new setup is completely OK, in time for Xmas.

You see, regarding CDMA/QCOM or whatever, it is not about the the speed, it is about coverage, roaming, features, value-added services, nifty accessories, and time to gratification.

2005 will hopefully be an enhanced year of looting, day and night, here there and everywhere, across all time zones, via full-spectrum dominance and all-connected command/control.

Chugs, Jay
