BoJo - Re: "Since he took over National Semiconductor Corp. (NSM) in 1996, CEO Brian L. Halla has waged a sometimes lonely crusade to create a ''system on a chip''--cramming most of the functions of a PC onto one thumbnail-size sliver of silicon. Intel Corp. Chairman Andrew S. Grove dismissed it as a ''fantasy,'' " Things change rapidly in this business." Oh yeah? That article was published A YEAR AGO !!! Have you seen a PC announcement with a GEODE processor since that time ? Halla almost brought NSM to BANKRUPTCY - and only by selling off the bulk of the Cyrix business did he prevent this disaster from happening. Get a clue. Paul
