To Carl R. and all-
Last night I had a dream. It was sometime later in 1999 and the following events had occurred with NSM:
-A layoff to trim fat took place that caught Wall St.'s attention.
-Brian Halla was replaced by Pat Brocket (a current VP and analog
product advocate). Wall St.is now curious.
-Cyrix is sold to IBM,
-System on a Chip (SOC)which includes X86 core, networking, memory,
graphics, and analog technology from prior acquisitions is sold
to the highest bidder (Intel, LSI, IBM, etc). Why? NSM may have
a lead on SOC. Wall St. is smiling!
-Flush with cash, a focused vision, and back to their core bus-
iness, NSM goes after and competes hard with the Linear Techs
and Maxims in the world of high margin, used everywhere, analog
business. Wall St. rewards NSM's return to profitability with
a stock price and valuation that we all should dream of! |
