No, Marden; I am also somewhat perplexed at the downdrift lately. I've come up with a few hypothesis such as Y2k costs, Asia, India technology sanctions, GSM/CDMA FUD; the "usual suspects". But nothing concrete; all just guesses. Nothing firm enough to evidence to me that something has changed fundamentally. New contracts still being announced. Talk about entry into the sat. side of the business. All positive stuff. Sure seems odd; coming up on the split. ...Tim LU beats NT, NOKA and ERICY on $750 mill. Mexico deal: Message 4497288
