<<<< 30 cents >>>>>>> Ralph, The analysts will probably never be able to get a handle on the earnings of TDFX. I'm sure they are all scratching their heads trying to figure out why they sell so many cards, when the companys who their products work on are having a rough time. A couple of reasons are, Warez and CDR. I can download any game i want, everything is pirated now. CDR,Copies of games are getting burned by plenty of people every day. One thing about people who either pirate or copy games is they have to buy 3D graphic cards. They can all afford to buy the latest best toys, because they aren't spending 100's of buck on games. I do buy my games,but from the DD i've done there are plenty of people who don't. Unless the game companys fix this problem, which i doubt they can, TDFX is just going to snowball along. It's the pirates and gamers choice. If you have something to show off and you are a pirate or serious gamer(not joe blow who plays Myst) showing a game running on anything else besides on a Voodoo will get a big yawn. It's a strange way to look at revenues etc, but it's a nice grey area i can live with. IMO
