Yes, Q! doesn't actually manufacture the ASICs. They design the circuitry and tell somebody else [IBM, etc] how to make them. The margins are high, but somebody would pay for those margins. So having high margins isn't a reason to keep the business. Selling success gets more money than selling failure. If Q! can do better with the money on something else, then let's go. They can't do everything and there is lots still to do. Mqurice
