What is driving the Pervasive computing world is new applications deployed on new platforms, including the desktop, but more importantly, things that will be on the desktop with mobile computing. A classic example is the web-connected set top box for your TV. We have a customer in New York City, ACTV, which is building set top boxes that integrate web content with full motion video so that you in effect create interactive TV. They use our products to do that and already have a strategic alliance with FOX broadcasting. In fact, I am sure that they are working on alliances with the other major broadcasting companies as well to give the consumer an interactive TV experience that is quite dramatic. I have seen a demo of their product and it is really quite amazing. This is just one example of an entirely new world of web products that the industry is labeling web appliances, and these products will soon begin to penetrate the consumer business.
