Clark, interesting point. Now that you mention it, I wonder what the size of such chips is, compared with microprocessors, for example. With mobile comm. chips, low power is very high on the spec. list for importance. I wonder if they're also smaller to go along with the low power, or if they're done on an older technology, like 0.25 micron. Maybe not because they have to run fast, like 900 MHz. If they are smaller, you get more on a wafer, don't have to run as many wafers, etc. Just rambling, takes my mind off the tech wreckage here. But, no margin, no house mortgage money in the market, didn't refinance the house to put more in the market. This too shall pass. Tony
