Tim, I assumed that's what you meant. But the two sentences easily read independent of each other. I was just having fun. I went back and reread my message. It appears I tossed it off too quickly. The grammar in it is horrible. The "and also" doesn't make sense or at least doesn't convey my meaning. It should have been one sentence with no "and also". Tim

Dave - Re:"From the other thread, it appears that Gordon Moore is selling half his shares. Maybe I'm reading it wrong? Looks like he sold 170 million." These are the Intel shares that Gordon Moore used to fund the Moore foundation. A search summary from the SJ Mercury news archives: Published on 11/17/2000, SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS MOORE'S NEW LAW: PHILANTHROPY ON INTERNET TIME CALL it Moore's Second Law, the prospect that philanthropy in Silicon Valley will double every 18 to 24 months. Gordon Moore didn't coin this variation of his famous prediction about the compounding power of microprocessors. But the announcement this week of his $5 billion gift, instantly creating the third largest foundation in California, points to the dramatic potential of high-tech philanthropy.
