<Inevitable brain failure? Come off it Maurice. A lot of us old codgers still retain ALL of our originals and have learned over time to take care of them through proper nurturing to avoid having to depend on the right thinking young folks whose brains really leave something to be desired.> Get back to me in 50 years and we'll see how your brain is functioning [assuming you are over 60 years old]. I've never heard of or witnessed a perfectly functioning brain which is 100 years old, let alone 120. Most of them are pretty stuffed by the time they are 90, reduced to crystallized intelligence. Even by 80 a lot of them are on the way out. Ronald Raygun's started packing up while he was still the guy in charge of the noocular codes, Red Telephone and button. Sorry to be the harbinger of bad news Andrew, but it's later than you think. Fortunately, the cyberspace cyberbrain is still in foetal form, under construction, with the wireless aspect forming the first synapses. There is an enormous amount of development still to be done just to get the basics functioning, then decades of learning and further growth. QUALCOMM is the intelligent designer for a good part of the wireless space. There will be a LOT of cash flow during the construction phase. During the operating phase, assuming BREW and other software developments are doing as well as expected, profits should be extreme. Imagine when nearly all financial interactions are carried out in cyberspace, and most of them over CDMA systems, and maybe BREW systems. Especially when the currency used is the brand new one run for the people, by the people and most importantly, owned by the people [those state-run kleptocratic inflationary rip-offs will be obsolete]. QUALCOMM might even have a piece of the action [some profits from the intelligent design of it]. It's 12th March 2005 here today. Another great day in the best summer for decades. Mqurice
