<<So the chances are slim but I can at least try to persuade and who knows maybe someone reading this board might have some influence where it counts. We can all try sometimes it works and its better than not trying especially when there isn't much else you can do.>> L: I agree, 100%. Perhaps I need to clarify. I was not trying to say that I thought the chances are slim; I was sincerely asking what you thought the chances are. Hope this clears it up a little. Regarding the self-judged "selfishness" of your view; selfish or not (I say "not" in this instance) it's a critical matter requiring timely and effective action, IMO. If that's "selfish", so be it. Regards. ...Tim ; )

OT: U.S.'s #1 economic partner Not from the no 1 partner of the US in the world economy. (This isn't really aimed at you limtex, you just reminded me of it, and my wife is tired of hearing these rants.) As a Canadian ex-patriate, this kind of thing triggers my nationalistic funny bone. The U.S.'s number one trading partner, by a huge margin, is Canada. I find it strange how Americans overlook this. It's as if they see Canada as part of the U.S., and therefore not in the conceptual category of "non-U.S." (yet, at the same time, Canadian economic figures are rarely added to the U.S.'s); or, Canada is so quiet and boring, that they don't feel the need to pay attention (which is probably a good thing for Canada). So how are CDMA sales doing in Canada? What's the Canadian attitude to 3G standards? How will the devaluation of the C$ affect Qualcomm's earnings? Probably only northforce and a couple others know these answers (living in the journalistic autarky of the U.S., I have no idea myself), and yet the answers likely rank up there with their equivalents in S.Korea and Japan. rhet0ric
