PS: On the other hand, if written off over the next million chips, at $200,000, this Quickterm adds $0.20 to the cost of each and every chip. How long can this spendthrift madness go on before we end up in the poorhouse like our competitors? HR

Saving money on masks, etc etc is the real issue. When you have a 'virtual chip' your R&D just enters a whole new world of 'what-if'. Since new technology and innovation is the name of the game, this could be the biggest competitive advantage TDFX has to date.

PS: How many engineering workstations do you think they have? At $15K plus (including software), maybe we should move them back to pencils and an abacus. THAT would save money . . .
