This is probably a silly question, but does anyone know what percentage of sales are to Fujitsu. I was under the impression that they never really used many of Ross's processors. If that is so, why are they interested in seeing Ross continue, besides perserving their investment?

Also, I would guess future investors are going to be pretty interested in the new Viper chip. I think all hopes will ride on the success of early demo's. Has anyone seen anything yet?

If this was the greatest chip ever, would Fujitsu, or Sun use it in their work stations? Who will use it? Are we going to see Ross continue to try becoming a hardware vendor? Is this realistic?

Wouldn't it be funny if Cypress bought them back.

PS About Ross himself. Is he a good manager?, or a great engineer? I've had bad experience working under technical genius' who didn't have a clue how to run a business. It's one thing to make chips for Sun and another to run an independant company.
