I have to agree the news of late on their various smart card chips are great for the future of this company. I don't think it affects the bottom line so much now (I don't have figures to back this up only opinion) but that industry will be booming in 1-3 years. Especially when there is a chip in every PC, from the sound of some of the articles the applications are endless. I think George is very smart to entrench himself in this area very early. Of course this technology is widely used in Europe it hasn't hit the America's yet and when it does , other semis will be playing catch up or choose not to participate. I'm not sure if Asia is big on this tech. does anyone know? To change the subject I'm a little worried about 2Q earnings. 1Q est. was 10 cents they only earned 8 cents, 2Q est. is 13 cents are we going to make it? I don't want to be in this stock if they miss 2Q.
