Okay, okay. We've debated this ad nauseum more than once. The point is that Ascend management was part of the process, we were not, and some of us were far, far more accurate about the Flex deployment timetable than those purportedly in-the-know.

By the way, one thing I did know was that pre-Flex Ascend modem cards housed 68-pin chipset sockets, and the design for Rockwell's firmware upgradeable chipset was for an 84-pin design. I know that a 84-pin chipset will not fit into a 68-pin socket. My guess is that Ascend knew that too.

Also, early on (I don't remember which month) Rockwell projected full production schedules in June. I know that because Rockwell recently stated they were on target for their original production schedules, and when I went and researched the original press release, sure enough that's what they said. Shouldn't Ascend have known that?

Oh well. It'll all soon be vague memories, we hope.
