Theo, re: "nice argument". In psychiatry there is an analogy known as "the little red wagon". A kid sits in his warm, comfortable home, surrounded by every conceivable toy and he is happy. Until he looks out the window and sees another kid with a "little red wagon." Suddenly, that little red wagon becomes "everything". I HAVE to have that little red wagon, the child thinks. "If I can't get my parents to buy me one, I'll just die." "If they won't buy me one, I'll take it away from that kid and then it will be mine." The guys at Lexar wanted to own a little red wagon called CF. They saw what it can do and they were willing to do ANYTHING to make it theirs. The fact that SNDK owns most of the CF IP drove them crazy. So -- when they couldn't get SNDK to give it to them -- they called in the lawyers and demanded that they take it away from SNDK. IMHO, Lexar vs SNDK is not within the realm of reasonable, adult behavior. Craig
