qdog, I completely agree with you about the force of the competition. Just look what a little bit of a competition did to the CPU prices and selection. Even though I don't post much here, I read most and enjoy all of your posts. But please tone it down a little bit. I don't want to see you banned. Joe

To all, Did anyone pick up a story about Soros buying in Korea? I heard it on Fox news. This could be positive for QCOM for tomorrow. Joe

Sorry qdog, I haven't and I won't call you or anyone names. Your cursing is very rude though. I have only called you what you call yourself: exchange2000.com Maybe you are right about Microsoft, I don't know. If they have broken the law, I am sure we will find out soon enough. I am sure the people at DOJ are just trying to do the right thing. Extortion is not part of the free enterprise system. By God, if Toys R Us can't do it, neither should msft. My interest lies more in the DOJ telling them what they can and can't put in their O/S. I think what we both want is a FAIR free market. On that point I think we agree. Good night. Bruce

Hello Chris! Gee, this is getting steamy. I'm just catching up after a few days of heaven on earth. I'd love to join in and lob hand grenades in all directions, but don't have time....too much summer here. Piha days. Best place on earth, best country on earth. Hang on, didn't somebody there claim that a minute ago? Well, the dichotomy between the individual and the collective won't be resolved here. I don't believe anyone has a very good grip on the subject - a bit of a see saw, with a need to have balance. But Chris, you claimed, "... Use his useless shit. I use UNIX. Far more reliable and robust than Windows,..." Doesn't that mean any monopoly my idol Bill G. enjoys is hardly complete. I use Netscape. You use Unix. Where is the monopoly? Sticking to the point - Qualcomm needs to enjoy profits from its monopoly on cdmaOne intellectual property. But back to the important issue of roaming, pricing and all that. "CURRENT PRICE IS ..." within a system from one monopolistic provider is hardly the best way, though much better than the current high priced peak/off peak system. Just a step on The Road Ahead. Best to have a handset which gives quotes from various wireless providers in the area. Dial the number, press "Quote" and get the range of prices available for the called destination. Accept a quote by pressing "SEND". Now that would be real competition in the Telecom market. The days of monopoly in telecoms are fading quickly. I really don't fear monopoly by Bill. They could at least wait until he actually HAS some significant illegal monopoly. Happy New Year Chris, and many happy returns to you all. Okay, more ocean wrestling to do. Did you all get your trucks backed up and shovel some in? Next quarter results out soon. Don't miss out. Still a fine buy. Mqurice
