I want to remind everybody to one thing I already said many times here. You have to look over the boarder to other countires. I am from Europe and I can tell you that the whole 3dfx mania started much later than in the US. I would say it started after xmas when huge masses of cards were sold. VoodooII was not available in Europe before mid of May. Also Asia, probably has started later. The saturation will take place much later than in the US. I am talking about several hundred millions of people. The market outside the US is much larger than in the States itself. Secondly, the variety of products of the same kind is smaller in the PC business here. I could observe it with Iomega and Syquest. It almost took two years that the Syjet drive was available in shops whereas the JAZ-drive could be bought in every supermarket. Once a product is established competitors have a very difficult task to bring their products to market here. Think about this!! Ralph
