<OT> The tech guys don't seem to be doing too well in the competition. Here's why:
======================================================
Engineers and scientists will never make as much money as business
executives will. Now we have mathematical proof that explains why this is true:

Postulate 1: Knowledge is power.
Postulate 2: Time is money.

As every engineer knows:
Work / Time = Power

Since knowledge = power, and time = money, we have:
Work / Money = Knowledge

Solving for money, we get:
Work / Knowledge = Money

Thus, as knowledge approaches zero, money approaches infinity
regardless of the work done.

Conclusion: The less you know, the more you make.

(I certainly don't mean that Curly knows any less than the rest of the crew!)

Ian-
Curly and I are co-champs. I'm not as vocal, but I am very bullish.

[OT]-- I've invested in two stories: the ever shrinking size and corresponding improved value added to ICs and the huge demand and growth of bandwidth. Cymer and some other semi-equipment as well as communication ICs (PMCS, VTSS, AMCC, MMCN) have done well and will continue to do well. Does anyone have another story?

Cheers-
