Hello Paul:

You have certainly moved to a place where your MIT-EE talents are
sorely lacking. Any analysis of a technical company needs to be done
in part by a qualified technical person. Particularly with a company
like Maxim. You don't buy a Maxim computer - there isn't even a label
that proclaims, "Maxim Inside". But there's a good chance that many
DO have Maxim components (especially laptops).

A great strength they have, in my opinion, is that they are NOT tied
to the PC business. Their products span many markets.

Did I mention that I went to MIT as well? Way back in 1957. I was a
Lambda Chi Alpha and walked the Harvard bridge more times than I like
to remember. Tough for a boy from South Louisiana (now in San Antonio,
TX). I was co-founder of a company in New Orleans called TANO Corp.
that grew from 3 to 400 & had a public offering. We were purchased by
a company called Rexnard (later acquired by someone else). I left
right at that time to take over a family business in TX, but I am
still involved in design with two companies in the medical &
industrial fields (both in Dallas). I have toured many manufacturers,
done business with many, been touted to become an investor in many,
and more than once I have thought about the poor quality of REAL
information available on technical companies.

A lifetime friend in Houston is a Petroleum engineer who got caught in
the 1980's oil decline. He spent about two years learning the nuts
and bolts of the investment business & is now a CFP, etc. He's doing
VERY well - and most of his clients are oil company people.

Paul, wonder who you work for? My e-mail address is:
bringier@connecti.com in case you don't want to broadcast it.

Good to meet another Beaver - (the root of many jokes).

Bill
