I thought it only fair that I summarize the weekend's major discussion points so that we might find closure and move on to other, more important things, like, say, panda bear pictures. A regular cell either holds no charge (a logical "false"), or it holds a lawyer (which objects to the term "logical", as it is hearsay). The latter is the preferred state, as putting lawyers in a cell is not quite as good as putting them at the bottom of the ocean, but it, too, is a good start. A multi-level cell either contains: 1. A charge. 2. No charge. 3. pi 4. A naked photograph of Pamela Anderson Lee. ...which makes it ideal for most Internet applications. It is important to remember that Multi-level cells have nothing whatsoever to do with the Lexar infringement lawsuit. This means that that during deposition, lawyers for both sides will be limited to no more than 6 billable hours of questions regarding multi-level cells, per witness. Which brings us to the question: "Is SanDisk a gorilla?" Technically speaking, no. For those unfamiliar with the popular investing tome "The Gorilla Game", the term "gorilla" was first applied to Microsoft, not when it became a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, but when it shipped, as a component of the ever-popular operating system, Windows 3.1., a DOS-based game of exploding-banana-hurling gorillas standing atop skyscrapers. "Boy, what a great game" said the barrons of Wall Street, and a legend was born. But I digress. The key questions that now face this forum are: Are cells that transcend binary storage of data the future of electronic storage media? Is SanDisk a front-runner in that technology? If Ausdauer and Craig Freeman and a lawyer and the CEO of Lexar were standing in a room, and Aus and Craig had a gun with only one bullet, whom would they shoot? I, for one, look forward to the answers. And now they are making me return to my multi-level cell. - Don

Steve, re: 256 Mbit/D2 This is the third generation of D2 flash memory and... ...SanDisk's newest 0.25 micron, 256 megabit D2 (Double Density) flash chip increases the capacity of its MultiMediaCards, CompactFlash cards, PC Cards, Secure Digital Memory Cards and other Flash offerings. I find it hard to believe they would put D2 technology in a CF card unless the reliability were excellent. Maybe it is worth a call to the company to see if the "10 million picture guarantee" is still in force with the CF cards that incorportate D2. Aus
