How can you possibly verify all the statements made on this thread or on the other threads? How can you determine what purported information will affect your investments? I suggest you contact PT Newell and verify his occupation to your satisfaction if you actually believe that it is going to affect your investment decisions. Why accept hearsay verifications?

Via initiative supports low-cost PC-like systems By Mark LaPedus, Electronic Buyers' News Aug 23, 2000 (11:12 AM) URL: ebnews.com TAIPEI, Taiwan — Via Technologies Inc. has announced a new initiative that will help enable OEMs to build a new class of PC-like systems that sell for $199 and less. Via's Information PC Platform Initiative will help OEMs develop systems that bridge the gap between full-function PCs and low-cost information appliances, according to executives from the company, a supplier of microprocessors and core-logic PC chipsets. The company said it will disclose more details about its new initiative at the Via Technology Forum, scheduled to take place on Sept. 28 in Taipei. With its initiative, Via hopes to enable the delivery of Internet-access and other PC-like functions to the masses, said Wen-Chi Chen, president and chief executive of the company, based here. "The Information PC is just such an initiative," Chen said. "It provides a new entry-level platform focused on delivering a powerful Internet experience and computing experience for everyone." Composed of microprocessors and chipsets from Via, the Information PC will enable OEMs to develop products at initial prices below $400. At the heart of Via's Information PC Platform Initiative is the recently introduced Via Cyrix III processor and Via Apollo PM601 chip set, the company said. Additional Information PC reference platforms are also under development, including systems built around Via's upcoming integrated processor, code-named Matthew. "With the Information PC platform, our ultimate goal is to make PCs affordable enough for everyone who needs them," Chen said.
