Now's there's a first. Anyone else ever heard of VoIP software being confused with a SHARC RTOS?

Thanks for bringing the humor this thread so desperately needs.

Best laugh I've had all day!

Are you interpreting my QUESTION about losing Ross Mitchell to be a statement that VoIP software is the reason for SSPI to purchase Alex? I'd guess that if Ross and the other former SSPI people created a Company based on software that was worth $280 Million to Broadcom, that these FORMER SSPI people might've had some other software capability too. Do you think that Barry knew that Ross and the other former SSPI people were only capable of writing trivial software for only VoIP?
