Grandiose visions of CompactFlash? My wife suggested my last two analogies might be a bit grandiose. I don't wish to make any excuses for myself, just that I am passionate about CompactFlash. Both my father and brother are scientists and I can imagine quite clearly how each would react to the type of treatment that is being dished out by Lexar Media. I still would like to see Eli go head-to-head with John Reimer in the U.S. Patent Court. I am sure Lexar legal counsel won't let their CEO anywhere near that venue. The sad part of the whole story for Lexar is that there are probably some well-meaning, talented engineers and gifted marketing folks who have their nose to the grindstone while management continues with this collision course. Message 13712349 Somehow a $2 million dollar investment by Sony seems like a drop in the bucket. Just looking at SanDisk's defense costs of $1.7 million puts that figure into perspective. CompactFlash is a work of art and an architectural masterpiece on the micron scale. Please keep your toll booth tokens, boat tickets and francs handy. Ausdauer
