Ausdauer, I believe that the comment about clear line of sight to profitability caught the SEC's attention. After Sept 11th, such a comment would be fine, but not before then. I'm holding a bunch of LEXR and am happy so far; although DATAPLAY scares me down the road. Lew

<font color=fuchsia>Sandisk Flash Card Speeds> Aus said: Also, I doubt that the write speeds are anywhere near 100KB/sec as Steve suggested. SanDisk may remain quiet.. I didn't suggest that is what they were, what I said was that was the only return I got when I did I did a search for speed on the SNDK web site. I just received this from Sandisk: Steve: I apologize for the delay. Here's the answer to your question. All of our cards are rated at between 700 and 800 in speed. If you have any more questions. Please don't hesitate to ask them and we'll do our best to take care of them. Thank you, Elias Castillo Public Relations SanDisk Corp. 140 Caspian Court Sunnyvale, CA 94089 This compares to 1.5 MB for Lexar's fastest. Maybe not that much difference with fast camera buffers. What has me puzzled about this whole Lexar thing is that first of all they aren't stupid. Why would they go to all this trouble with an IPO, building up their customer base, competing and working hard, knowing all the while they are likely to loose it all if they loose the bankruptcy case? I just have the feeling that they know something we don't. I think there is a missing piece we haven't figured out yet. Tis a puzzlement. What do you think? Steve 667
