****WAAAAYYYY OFF TOPIC****

Do any of our silicon experts on this thread know of any companies
developing chips to do lab work with blood? I was watching CNET the
other day and caught the end of a segment in which they were
highlighting companies with technologies that may make today's
laboratory obsolete. Two companies had a "Lab on a chip" and could
literally perform hundreds of tests on blood. Many of the tests
previously requiring a centrifuge will no longer need one. And they made
the point of saying that this was only the beginning. The chip they had
that could do this was the equivalent of an x8088. What could these
chips do with a Merced comparable architecture? It's mind boggling where
we are headed but I want to be a part of it. I am personally not sold on
biotechs. The risk/reward simply is not there for me; the FDA can put
the kaibash on an entire company overnight. Uncle Sam has enough of a
hold over me without controlling my investments! And rarely do you get
corrections like the one we are currently getting which leave values
scattered everywhere- "too many princesses and not enough lips." But
these companies have piqued my interest.

TIA for any help,

Brian
