*off topic* Hello Mike [Mc], Yes indeed, spring is blooming. It's beautiful. Lambs are well underway. Another year has rolled by. A few days can sometimes take time. Sometimes it flashes past. Life is quite a roller coaster. Sometimes confusing. Sometimes scary. Sometimes people get scared by their own shadow [Dow, Hang Seng et al?] and sometimes there is a real-time real-life nightmare to live through. Then there is the great pleasure of sitting at Maramarua Golf Course out in the country on a sunny day with a friend and bottle of bubbly [not Dom P. yet Ramsey!] BEFORE the game. Or flying into Queenstown on a beautiful winter's day. Or love. Meanwhile, there are those bravely confronting their real life problems, disasters and even death. We retreat from public at times like that. If you are one of those people reading this - enjoy the laughter and silliness you see here as the Qualcomm denizens enjoy their time here. Meanwhile, back in the jungle, in New Zealand we have a dead mouse bounce, in Hong Kong a dead cat bounce, maybe the USA has had a dead lion bounce. Wow, people just love gambling and playing the odds. Up, down, up, down, up, up, up. Life's great! I guess I'll post this........ THAT should quieten things down for a web minute. I was just going to say hello actually, but somehow got sidetracked, thinking of a sick friend. Meanwhile, back at "Babe's Place", another multimillion dollar royalty bearing license has been signed by ANOTHER of those Korean companies which wants so much to be a Qualcomm slave. Funny how they keep crowding in to the Qualcomm Colisseum. When the USA gives up the idea of intellectual property [IP] rights for their citizens and companies and distributes their wares free across the world like some latter day Santa Claus, I guess the temporary royalties the licensees have paid won't matter to them if they get to be part of the cdmaOne tsunami. I bet the USA realizes the vitality of IP and doesn't budge. Maurice
