Briefly, SI messed up and lost the first board which I started before this one. I forget the process but there were a few weeks of posts missing. I think they were changing servers or something. At the time, it seemed a shame but I guess it doesn't really matter now as it's in archeological time. Internet time was a peculiar phenomenon which lasted only a year or two. I'll read through the rest of your interesting ramble through archeological time when I have got a bit more time and a nice cup of tea.

Have the early days died? There was lots of lovely archival information here. Do we need to keep threads alive or they vanish without trace? This was from a couple of years ago. If you try the url below, it doesn't work. Best wishes, Maurice To: Maurice Winn (29 ) From: Brad Dryer Wednesday, Apr 17 1996 2:40PM EST Reply # of 1694 All subjects get archived. Because of a miscalculated overlap, there was a few hour period in which the old CDMA subject disappeared. It's fixed now... You can jump to the subject from here if you type /Subject-2604 after /investor on the line at the top of your browser. (so it looks like techstocks.com ) Brad ( go >

Having now strolled through those decades and centuries, yes, that was a pretty good summary. Yes, the Moonies were annoying and SI was never particularly good at ditching the actual miscreants, resulting in me being banned for a while. Meanwhile, when 1 million CDMA subscribers was achieved, it did seem pretty good, but look at it now with numbers in the billions cerfing around Cyberspace with many if not most using CDMA in various flavours. OFDM is now coming on stream [after initially frightening the Siers until Flarion was bought]. And the fun has just begun. Because of the high and badly managed data charges, few people use mobile cyberspace and the devices are only now being produced en masse in a form suitable for regular humans. But there is still no good way to view them in daylight. Mirasol should start fixing that problem as well as battery life next year. By the beginning of 2013, life in mobile Cyberspace should really be underway. We are still in the early stages of the biggest revolution humans have ever embarked on. Bigger really than biological history since the invention of DNA, but some people would think I'm exaggerating. Mqurice
