Bob,

You wrote:

no, i think you are mixing apples and oranges.. it is my take that the $$500 boards
relate to a possible tranaction involving olea- that was my point about the recent
release referring to musical reproduction kiosks (or whatever the terminology). my
understanding is that genroco involves the use of ptsc's chip in genroco's interface
device. these would be 2 totally different transactions....bob


I fully realize that there are two separate transactions and I have
these two straight. I was trying to unravel the rumors. The rumor
was about MGM and a stb device for the home video and film market. This is closely matched by the Genroco connection not the Olea one.

Beachguy mentioned 3,000,000 units and $500 boards. No numbers have
been officially released. Do you have another source concerning the
$500 boards?

Perhaps, as you are suggesting, this rumor was a conflation of the
two -- 3,000,000 stb's from the Genroco angle and $500 boards from
the Olea side.

In either case, we don't have a $1.5 B dollar deal, as if anyone
seriously thought there was one (vbg). It really doesn't matter
too much -- the anatomy of the rumor -- but it goes to show how
misleading these things can be. In this case, it suggests that
even when posted in good faith it can be off. Some information
is better than none as long as we keep this in mind. Any more
rumors anyone?
