Hello QCOM "Old Timers", Don't mean to crash your new thread (started by an SI "newbie"). This will be my first and last post here because I an a "newbie" even though I've been involved with digital wireless mobile telephony and CDMA (also TDMA, GSM) since late 94. I'll bookmark this site and will scan posts, but post if the spirit moves me on "Your" old thread. Hope some of you check in on the old thread, as I've enjoyed reading your posts for the last 15 months, and I'd really encourage that you participate in and contribute to the CDG discussion threads which are sparsely posted. ** Slightly OT * If you get tracked down here or at CDG and need more privacy I would suggest that you establish your own web site and discussion forum there. I'll give you an example of same: betatesters.com Real OT *** Above site was started in 96 after a batch of us who met in early 95 as beta testers for graphical browsers and national ISP's in early days of 2G Internet (windows not UNIX). We started at GNN, moved as a group when it launched commercial to beta test MCI NewsCorp (which folded), then on to the Beta of AT&T WorldNet till it launched commercial with very limited POPs. One benefit of this back then was free Internet Access long before $19.95/mo unlimited access was available. As we progressed, "newbies" would crash our "reserved beta testers" newsgroups creating what some would call spam, and others, detractions or infringements of our social order. Heck, we had graduated to the 32-bit winsock world and could all configure the early DUN in our sleep so we were light years ahead of "newbies" <g>. Anyway, we all eventually migrated to different ISP's, and so we started the betatesters.com site to get together while enjoying some privacy. Lots of us have drifted off following other pursuits but ... Sorry to digress. Good luck with your splinter thread and your investments. RIP & LOL! I remain long 'Q" and look forward to reading you. - Eric -
