RE:"Didn't Motorola eventually get out of the TV business?"

Yes they did. Actually Motorola used to be in the electric motor business back in the 1920s...hence the name.

RE:"Maybe it's time iNhEL gets out of the mobo/chipset business.
The lame "solution" on the Rambust motherboard issue is another sign that iNhEL is
desperate."....

If they do that then they lose control. If they can't forge the direction of technology then they lose a lot of their power.
They will push RAMBUS or bust...

RE:"VIA/FIC I believe WILL say something soon by disclosing the specifics, IF VIA chooses
to fight; I hope they will.

The downside is Toshiba gave in."

Intel has a lot of money and Lawyers. Sometimes it's better just to cave in early. I hope VIA can work something out...

steve, Re: I am trying to find holes in the conspiracy, but not having any luck.

Don't be frustrated, it would be hard as Intel would do it
in a very skillful way(if there is any). They ain't Microsoft.

Remembered that FTC has tried several times.
