QCOM was to create an amazing new realm of mobile cyberspace, sell it to billions, return the profits and my capital to me, then rest on the laurels of having made such an amazing contribution to humanity and the development of consciousness far beyond what the mere invention of DNA was able to achieve. Success is already in the bag, banked, and a decade of profits enjoyed and partly consumed. Not to mention the personal benefits of using CDMA myself. More profits and return of capital are just continued reward for more extensive success than was reasonable to hope for in the beginning, but it's welcome all the same. If QCOM goes kablooey tomorrow, the success would not disappear because the past can't disappear. Heck, I'd still be better off financially than when I got going with it. And the 15 years of success is already turning to ancient history. The Roman aqueduct from Uzes to Nimes is no longer in operation, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a phenomenal success. It's still sitting there in part, to provide inspiration and pondering material to people roaming around now, jabbering on their cyberphones, photographing it, emailing it to their friends and posting the pictures in cyberspace. You watch, I shall now ask Bing to get me some pictures of the aqueduct and send them to you via Zenbu and whatever other modern magic is between me and your eyes. Scroll down for the Pont du Gard part of it: grandesvacances.com There are of course swarms of images to choose from. Note the other impressive works from way back then. "CDMA China" doesn't come up empty-handed either. bing.com Gung Ho, Mqurice PS: You are of course wrong about the 6 billion. Have you heard of the Second Coming? It 's on It 's way but it won't be in the form people commonly think. There is a Human Super Colony forming, armed with cyberspace and cash flow. Note that the Totalitarians turned it off to help quell the opposition. They half-wittedly think they know where the threat is coming from. But there's nothing they can do about it.
