Gee, Tony, with an advocate like you, Rambus doesn't need any detractors! :0) Great report on the situation. I have really wondered if they had the "Lock" everyone has been talking about, or if someone would figure a way around them. They sound like the exact type of situation that I like to avoid. I will be happy to pay a lot more money for the company later, when we are sure it is going to own the market, and show tornado growth and earnings. That is the beauty of a Gorilla. You can get in late and still make one hell of a lot of money. 
  An interesting article on summer rallies from the LA Times:

  To sum up, 11 up summers and 4 down ones in the last 15 years. 
  OT: Last one on this subject for a while, I promise!
  For those "old farts", like me, among you, here is a connection to the hottest swing band in the country, Indigo Swing. It is the typical 8 piece "Jump Blues" group that is popular, with a great boogie woogie pianist.  This band pulls the biggest crowds, and, of course, no one outside of my swing subculture has ever heard of them.  You can play excerpts to about 5 songs, with "Red Light", and "Another day in LA" being the strongest. This is the CD we "jammed" to on the boat back from Catalina.
