While both areas have experienced strong 50 percent annual growth, as opposed to the 15 percent to 20 percent growth for microprocessors, they are also intensely competitive markets with sizable and well-entrenched players. For example, Intel purchased DSP Communications Inc. last year for $1 billion, but the market is dominated by Texas Instruments Inc.

Paul - re "Willcousa - re: 'It has happened before, it didn't take years. This will be the fourth election decided by the electoral college I beleive. ' Excuse me? I may be a little rusty in my civics, but EVERY U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION is decided by the electoral college." I think only 3 times before a guy lost the popular vote and won anyway due to winning the electoral college vote and in each case the loser came back 4 years later to win the presidency. So if history is any indicator, we'll see both this guys again in 4 years in "Thriller in the Everglades II"
