Not wanting to spend much time writing about the death of CREAF, let me just say a few words that may draw a picture of the future.

Bottom line is price of the computer as a whole is moving to just a few hundred $150-500 if not free. This gives most chip makers little profit and better yet the number of chips needed to build a computer will always be fewer and fewer. So if you think CREAF can make a chip that will be an I/O chip set, sound, and simple video and do it all for the cheap this is the Co. for you. I think CREAF is becoming irrelevant for the future.

Add to this Net computers that will steal sales away from PC's and the Playstation2 that will steal sales away from CREAF's gamer market. Also the BIG question people CAN'T answer here and nor can I is what is the future of sound on the PC or other? I.E. where do we go from 5.1 speakers? What can the next sound cards bring that will be NEW. Answer other than marketing the next few cards with 400 sounds at the same time or 16-32 speakers hooked up all at the same time or 5D sound its “new” please buy it. What is this Co. going to do? It looks as if CREAF is trying to grab at anything it can to not die, but that tells me that CREAF has NO vision and NO future.

Simple… If I may you ALL would be better off with stocks like @Home or E*trade. Even my little Hasbro and Sony are up MUCH more than CREAF YTD. CREAF can and will only loss you money in the long term. Simple
