>>> I considered investing in 3dfx late last year <<<

How about S3, would you short them, given their rise today? There suppose to be coming out with better integrated chips, but they are way behind in 3d performance.

>>> Some things I've read suggest that even with the latest SGI/Mr. Softee deal over OGL (I think I read in Boot that this was merely a MS salvo against Unix, rather than an attempt to appease developers) <<<

MS credo: Assimilate and infiltrate, then destroy. They're gonna turn Java into Visual Basic, so watch what they do to OpenGL (though they did a good job with Apple on OpenType). Unfortuneatly SGI has little choice at the moment. They are going into WinNT hook, line and sinker, and then CPQ will come in and wipe them out.
