Paul, please tell me if I am being foolish. But it looks like the rest of the press is finally understanding what you told us here nearly 18 months ago. What I am referring to is the reason Intel decided to accept such an apparently easy settlement with Digital and give away without much of a fight the MMX trademark. The key is now crystal clear, They wanted Strong Arm and were willing to settle easily to get it. We now see (or perhaps only I finally do) in todays Wall Street Journal article the vision coming together. Possibly a new chip, dominating the internet for years to come! This looks like big news to me! Michael Revealing the first major weapon in its campaign, Intel today is announcing a product called a "network processor" that can replace the higher-cost custom chips used in the switches and routers that form the backbone of the Web. Initial customers for the chip include the communications behemoth Cisco Systems Inc., network-equipment maker Newbridge Networks Inc. and cable-television-equipment maker Broadband Access Systems Inc.
