>CRACK!!!! "Thank you Sir, may I have another"!!! >CRACK!!!! "Thank you Sir, may I have another"!!! Thank you Viper, I needed that chuckle. Just caught up on the cc. I have nothing to add that hasn't already been hashed on this thread. (Except: next time Markman says "nominal" I will know that he means "nominal". Jeez, what was I thinking?). In case anyone cares, which I doubt, Doug was the winner of our little contest (his guess: 350K). Presumably this is an honor he would preferred to have avoided. But Doug, here is a tip for you - next time try not to be so optimistic. You missed by almost 300%! Tsk. Personally, it's time for me to ignore this stock for awhile. Where is that wineglass.

Resellers may hurting General Magic's image Folks, go to dejanews.com and do a search on Portico. I have been monitoring portico related posts on these USENET discussion groups. I have noticed heavy amounts of spamming by resellers who are trying to sell the Portico service. I am not happy that these resellers are spamming to try to get sales. I am also not very happy that Portico, the service hasn't been discussed as much as it should be on cellular related newsgroups. Here is an example of a reseller who keeps spamming. Re: Portico work GREAT with Nokia 5190 on Sprint PCS network Author: Dave Schwab <dschwab@email.com.NOSPAM> Date: 1999/03/09 Forum: alt.cellular sponsored by: more headers author posting history This product must be absolutely AMAZING if it can get a Nokia 5190, which is a GSM 1900 phone, to work on the CDMA 1900 Sprint PCS system. If you're going to try to dupe the public with your fake recommendation, please at least lie about using a phone that actually WORKS with the carrier you're telling stories about. Your product might be something great and innovative, but I'm sure there are others in this newsgroup that, like me, won't even bother to look at it because our introduction to the product and company was by deceptive means.
