Owl, if this get's in front of a jury, does anyone really believe it will be decided on it's merits with such a confusion of evidence? The personality and presentation of the litigants will play the larger role, IMO. The lawyers who best befriend the jury while throwing up a wall of FUD against the opposition will most likely prevail. (I often wonder what determines a "jury of your peers." Should that mean they are capable of intelligently evaluating the technology involved?) If this thread is an example, jury selection may make or break the case. I wonder if Barry Sheck ever felt remorse for his attack on DNA evidence? I think he's since made a lot of money portraying DNA as a reliable and scientific method of determining guilt or innocence. <g> Any wonder why Lawyers are the butt of so many jokes? If this makes it to a jury, all bets are off. But, JMO's <g>

Night Owl, The pin count problem was a simple one --- higher pin counts are expensive, plus in some cases, they make the die pad limited (ie: there's a minimum size of the si just because of the spacings on the perimeter of the chip) even if the gate count of the chip does not require it. New technology and packaging like the flip-chip and future variants sort of pushed that away for now.
