Meanwhile, just after the close, there was another bit of a dollar added to Q.com price [people now realize it is an internet stock AND there is a stampede underway] and volume jumped to 1.2m, up $2.20 or so for the day [= $2 5/32], now $57. I bet Dougjn is watching the opening price on Friday! Are you going to let it run a bit more Doug? I believe there's another news item coming out tomorrow, as if the MSM3000 today wasn't impressive enough - keep in mind Motorola was the big gorilla about to stamp all over the place according to Qdog just a year or so ago. They are noticeably not tramping all over anything just now. Mqurice *Off topic* "$1,202 telephones 100 years ago" yes Greg, but look at the function and quality of them. And think of the quality of computers, 747s, vaccinations and brain surgery available 100 years ago. So things are HUGELY cheaper than that article suggests - in fact most things didn't exist, so you could work your whole life and still not have them. To get to England from NZ cost 10 weeks, or loss of life, $600,000 plus you had a grotty bed to sleep on. Now you take 20 hours, you actually REDUCE risk to life 10km high, it costs $5000 and you lie back in comfort with yummy food and drink served when you like [Pacific Class]. Pierre? You there? Okay? Sorry about the chips in the brain jokes...and don't worry about the driver's licence. Don't forget, $80 31/7/98 [The rest of the world writes dates day, month, year. We use metric measure and decimal currency. No metric time yet :-[ Don't mention the Poms; they never recovered from changing from pounds shillings and pence and still get nausea with metrication - so they have some weird hybrid - no wonder the empire collapsed.] 10 hours per day, 10 minutes per hour, 10 seconds per minute, 10 be- quicks per second and 10 blinks per be-quick. Universal time and no daylight savings!!! Yes please. Who on earth knows what 20.17 in Kazakhstan means in real time downtown San Diego? Now that the Web is in vogue, somebody needs to invent metric Webtime! There's a challenge for a hot entrepreneur to make a fortune. Start it on the dateline so at least the days would match - maybe 1 Jan 1999 would be a good time to start the clock running. We could have BW and AW. Not bandwidth and awe, but Before Web and After Web. :-] Please send cheques [English spelling] to MW. Here is an example of child abuse - teachers used to ask such stuff. With us having only fingers, pencil and paper. If apples cost one pound six and ninepence halfpenny a bushel, how much would a stone cost? Okay, how much for an ounce of apple? If photon wave functions are $100 a nanometre, how much for a Q.com phone and beer at Piha? See how much easier metrication is?
