TeoTwawKi? No news for us. One very decade. We are specialists on navigate that. Just look to Argentina right now. So nothing to worry about for those who have TeoTwawKi track record.

TJ, it's nice to see you so obsessed with cyberspace. It warms the cockles of my heart. Meanwhile, today Tarken-san and I [me watching and being allowed to hold various wires] installed a bunch of geewhizbangohwhoaweegollymegawallops servers into a cyberspace operations building to power Zenbu zenbu.net.nz further, deeper, faster and more reliably into warp speed cyberspace. We installed Loadmaster, Dell and Apple servers to add to Loadmaster, IBM and Apple servers. In 1986 I bought an Amstrad double floppy computer [no hard disc] and over the next 20 years many other computers for about the same price with increasing performance. Now, the pile of wiring I can buy for the same price is absurdly powerful and amazing. <my anxious anticipation for delivery of the brand-smoking new private-label liquid-cooled vacuum-effect chilled geewhizbangohwhoaweegollymegawollops Intel twinquadcore 4 gigabyte RAM 1 terabyte Hard Drive array laser-mouse-guided holy-cow extreme game machine. I am keen to try the machine for on-line games such as the ohmygod Unreal Tournament 3 massive last man standing death match and the selling of options and buying of gold.> People are signing up increasingly quickly so demand for cyberspace is growing apace and cash flow to sustain said servers seems assured. Meanwhile, finally, after a puzzling delay of a couple of years, like Wile E Coyote over a cliff edge, Freddie meets reality finance.yahoo.com TOL, HOV and co long ago headed downhill. There is obviously plenty of room for more downwardness. Also in 1986, I attended with what I called "The Head and Shoulders Club" which was a City of London technical analysts association to which a colleague belonged and he invited me along to see what it was about. I remember only "head and shoulders" formations - I put it in the "load of malarkey" basket. Nevertheless, I notice that there is a head and shoulders formation built on a head and shoulders formation for HOV which looks to me like a catastrophic formation and so it has turned out to be and is continuing to turn out to be with the bottom not in sight [which could be zero]. I'm sure with a brief inspection you will be able to see what I mean by "head and shoulders" finance.yahoo.com The head and shoulders [in the classic form] occur after a long period of gradual increase. When the right shoulder appears, it is time to panic and abandon ship. The first right shoulder was more than enough warning. The second should NOT have been ignored. Mqurice

Hilarious! Having read your comment about being unable to book into the Venetian in Macau, and having to <put on sweaters, drink hot cocoa, and read books for one, and play on-line PC games for the other > instead I carried on ranting and cerfing and bumped into: Message 24073718 So, while you were drinking cocoa and playing in cyberspace, the cyberspace revolution was taking all the space where you were unable to stay. I note that nobody was buying biscuits. More money and effort was going on cyberspace. Ignore the writer's silly rants about CDMA being subsumed by GSM. He is ignorant. The GSM air interface is in fact CDMA and HSPA/HSDPA/W-CDMA/3GSM/UMTS/3G/ are all acronyms for CDMA. He means CDMA2000 [a particular variety of CDMA] has not gained market share in recent years from the GSM Guild. His rant that GSM might put paid to WiMAX is really saying that CDMA is so effective [as calculated by Clark Hare way back in about 1998 here in SI when I found some OFDM lurking in Auckland University and consulted our SI aces] that WiMAX doesn't have a huge advantage over CDMA [in HSPA or EV-DO forms]. He is saying that QUALCOMM's success is assured [though he no doubt doesn't understand that]. Meanwhile, back to the Venetian. They were plotting the rapid advancement of CDMA air interface to replace TDMA-based systems like GSM. That's not how they say it, but that's precisely what they are doing. They have some problems though. They are greedy on royalties, wanting 12% total. CDMA2000 can be done for 5%, or 2% inside China [as per agreement with QUALCOMM]. They have been trying to do it in 2GHz - which requires too many base stations to cover countryside economically, which they haven't done. What's needed is 450MHz EV-DO/OFDM multimode cyberspace in China and elsewhere. China could make unimaginable amounts of money. They should look over the fence at Korea and Japan to see what they are doing. Korea has made a LOT of money from CDMA. KDDI/Au with EV-DO technology is eating D'oh!CoMo's W-CDMA/FOMA lunch. Heck, look over the fence at the Venetian and see what they are up to in the GSM Guild. China should get that money and YOU should be staying at the Venetian, not the useless bludging GSM Guild who are plotting to rip off hard-working Chinese with over-priced W-CDMA/3GSM/HSPA/UMTS stuff. TD-SCDMA is a fizzer. Go Gung Ho with OFDM/CDMA 450MHz. Make that call. Hu Jintao and China need you. This is your call to arms. Uphold the family traditions. YOU should be staying at the Venetian, not them. Enjoy your cocoa, which might be stone age, but is an essential ingredient of modern life. Especially when rampaging in cyberspace. Don't dip your biscuits into it. Mqurice

Not forgetting your wife, I noticed this article about the Kindle. She would no doubt like to have one for reading books while waiting for her turn to stay at the Venetian [when you finally get going and stop goofing around in cyber war-zones and make that call]: Message 24073776 It can hold a LOT of books. A year-long trip down the Rhine would fit into one Kindle. A TeoTwawki retreat to a nice island would not be short of reading material. Mqurice
