Gregory Mullineaux is definitely a mo-mo marker. Sort of like a litmus test. We each have our style. Mine is buy at an early technological time when not many people have even heard of orthogonal concatenations in quarkian communications and hold grimly until the hordes arrive, which seems to happen when the bottom line starts to grow fast and/or the technology takes on recognisable forms and functions [such as Yahoo! which is now in trouble from Snap.com]. I am trying to cope with a big run in Q! So far things are fine. Here's the next thing which Q! will include in their handsets which will set them apart from the crusty old world of GSM. The time right now is @916. Q! will include 'Internet Time' in their handsets. People everywhere other than at Piha like to know what the time is. They will know if they have a Q! phone. If they have a GSM phone, they won't. GSM and VW40 are unsynchronized with no or bad chip rates and out of date technology. You can get the correct time here:swatch.com Following the download instructions will get you a cute little swatch @918 symbol which you can put on your screen. Q! will need to have it ready built into the handsets. While they are doing that, they can put the "Current Price is ..." display in them too, so people don't have to guess what a call will cost them. No more wondering what the time is in Eketahuna, Honolulu or Baikonur or Biel. No more silly 24 hour clocks 19.35 which are different everywhere and are hard to convert to what the actual time is. Most people have trouble knowing if 19.35 is 9.35 in the evening, or 8.35 or 6.35 without doing some serious mathematics. Now, all you need, anywhere, is @921 There are 1000 of these 'beats' in a day, so one works out to just a bit over a minute, which is a convenient unit of time. You can always put a decimal points in if you run a tight ship. Anyway, @754 on 22 March 1999, Q! reached $90.25, a new world record. It's fitting that on the day Q! shot past my handicap, having reached convergence with my low score a little while ago, internet time hit the thread. We should now be in a post Big Black Hole rapid inflationary period with a whole universe of CDMA applications spreading out in infinite array. This should be good. Mquarkce @932 Rah! Rah! Rah!
