Pat,

I think TDFX is well positioned for the next months with V3.

What should strike us more is the question of its product pipline and it's compatibility with today's Voodoo-chipsets.

Will TDFX carry over clients and game-producers to a not compatible "V4"-chipset? What is going on with "geometric"-3D-calculation (who will be the "leader of the pack" in that technology?), 32Bit-colors, etc.

Ballard's "vision" of an "entertainment company" (that's exactly what he described TDFX to be!) does not look very viable to me. What does he mean whith that? What is the company's future strategy?
Will TDFX enter back into the console-market? Will they develop or collaborate in development of 3D-glasses that recognize head-movements and coordinate it with graphic-output in real-time? Will TDFX support other OS such as LINUX, Apple, BE-OS aggressively enough? Is it possible to produce a gaming platform independent of the installed operating system? Will TDFX offer services to the movie-industrie?
Will TDFX and AMD develop a counterpart to Intel's AGP4x with embarrassing advantages over AGP? - Just some ideas!

Hey guys help me! What does Ballard mean when calling TDFX an "entertainment company"? Any ideas, what's the heading?

Thanks

Peter
