I saw an article in the SF Chronicle (from the NYT, I think) on
January 31, about how IBM and Motorola are joining forces to promote
digital radio for remote data access for field personnel.  A few
paragraphs into the article (on the back page of the section in the
Chron), the amazing statement is made that (paraphrasing) "radio waves
can penetrate into buildings where cellular telephone waves cannot".
I kid you not.  I wish I were.

Fransisco Chronicle} in the way of accuracy, but I'm amazed my
competitor, the {New York Times}, would have let that get past them.  PT]
