Yeah, here is the Motorola story (14,000 get the ax):

cnnfn.com

I am surprised this did not come way sooner. Everybody knows the entire pacific basin runs on cell phones. It was their way of leap-froging into modern communication.

Nobody got money. Nobody gonna buy Motorola cell phones (or continue to pay monthly for the ones they have).

I don't think computers are the same, though. Dell increased their pacific basin sales by somewhere between 25 & 30% at the last report.

It might help spook the emotional tech buyers for a day or two.

I still think that MMs will buy in a few days before the big CPQ roll-out day. Maybe it's the NY PC expo, like somebody just said. I'm gonna see if I can dig that date up.
