Jim, <It is hard for me to imagine that Micron will be trying to produce sdram and ddr ten years from now.> Just to be nitpicky again, but ten years from now, both DDR SDRAM and RDRAM will have become obsolete already. Do you remember what kind of memory was popular ten years ago? Wasn't it those 30-pin SIMMs that you had to install in groups of four? I'm sure that'll bring back a lot of memories for the tech-types. Tenchusatsu

Re: jim kelley, "If MU had wriiten Rambus a letter and asked them before they started producing Sdram and DDR whether it might infringe any current or future patents, I think Rambus would have told them yes. But they never asked! This points to Micron's own negligence." So your viewpoint is that before a company goes ahead with any product they should first write a letter to every single company in the world asking if through said product there might be a possibility that they would at some point be infringing on some patent(s) which that company might possibly be working on or at some point in the future decide to pursue, and to not do so means the company is being negligent. Seems a bit ridiculous, but what the hell do I know... Henry nothing.mine.nu PS. SI has a quite useful spellcheck feature. I suggest you use it (besides, the preview re-reading of your message before posting may help to reduce later embarrassment).
