Jon, (I ain't short. I'm just an engineer. Shaking my head over the silliness of this, and a court of law bamboozled into this nonsense...) The idea of patenting a register which sets a control state is rather clever don't you think? Only been done a few million times before Rambus obtained their "fundamental" patent which allows this SDRAM nonsense to proceed in the courts. Scumbria

"and a court of law bamboozled into this nonsense..." Not to quibble, nor perhaps does it matter much w/r/t RMBS, but -- if I'm not mistaken -- the court never ruled. The Hitachi/RMBS litigation was settled. And there is a difference. No legal precedent was set here. IMHO the implications may not be as "far-reaching" as you think -- though it certainly does appear as if RMBS has almost won ITS war. Once MU folds its game, set, match. BWDIK
