-Re: 5 millionth chip: got a little bit of a laugh (lots of phone calls for him on that one). He seems to think that 5MM is a bit high -- Does anyone recall when they announced 4 million? The first time I remember hearing it was at CGDC in the beginning of May, but it may have been old news by then. If they sold fewer than a million chips this quarter, at $45-$50 per chip, then we are in trouble. Last quarter TDFX had profits of $7.5M on sales of $50M. This quarter they will have higher operating expenses (building a new research facility in Austin), higher taxes, and more shares to dilute the earnings. Just to show flat earnings, we need sales to be higher than $50M, which means more than 1M chips. Mike
