Northforce, thanks ever so for those tech references which brought mist to my eyes in memory of halcyon days at M.I.T. How many times did my colleagues and I harangue the Luddites for their refusal to adopt turbo coding, their almost pathetic dependence on Reed Salomon Concatenated door stops? Forward, ever forward . . . On another matter, I think this thread's gone soft, even mealy mouthed. Maurice in particular is ready to withdraw the dreaded Fatwah now that the infidel is twisting slowly like a ribbon in the fjords. Let them taste the steel of our rake receivers say I; slip in a soft handoff for good measure. Blast those sardine mongers, unleash the power of direct sequence spread spectrum. Those boys down in Texas are gonna take one look at those scrawny Nordic types and conclude a) they ain't red-blooded Americans and b) their IPR claims are 'all hat, and no cattle'. Ericy's gonna leave town wearing feathers with a judicious mixture of tar. Okay, so I had a few beers at lunch. Surfer Mike
