Maybe they're paying $5 million to hire some GeoWorks employee they really really liked. Or their office was really cool. Or they're working on selling books/advertising over cell phones. Or they're doing some wireless hand held app for those automated warehouses. I believe the CBs used in the new automated distribution center in Nevada had too much static. The local cellular company wanted too much for contant cell phone use. Now their costs are fixed for cellular use<VBG> Glenn
