Message 15778310 AMD has announced a flash unit that will write about 20 mb per second and is fast enough to replace DRAM in portable and hand held computers, not to mention dozens of other applications, including set top boxes and cell phones. A large capacity unit, such as AMD is manufacturing, could also be used in place of removable flash cards in digital cameras or MP3 players. The user would simply dump the files into a computer or other device for storage, or upload images to an online host. It should be noted that Kodak has an AMD director on its own Board of Directors. Maybe this is why Kodak has been reluctant to acquire any position in removable flash card manufacturing, even for investment purposes. I guess he is talking about this amd.com except AMD says 133MB/s not 20. Do you think this will actually mean much to AMD or is it just another routine new product announcement? Tim

The Miami Herald article contains the real answer on who won the Florida election when you count all the votes -- Al Gore. But you have to read way down the article to get the answer. The Florida courts determined that under Florida law you had to count all the votes where the intent of the voter was clear. This included Florida ballots with hanging chad and dimpled chad -- the same standard that Bush signed into law in Texas. miami.com But the rest -- 3,146 -- bore markings that made it clear who the voter preferred, The Herald found. Generally, this occurred when voters chose a candidate and then cast a write-in vote for that same candidate.... Most of those recoverable overvotes -- 1,871 -- were for Gore. Bush received 1,189 such votes. Other candidates received 86. That net gain for Gore of 682, when coupled with the undervotes, would have been enough to carry the Democrat to the White House under two standards for gauging undervotes. Gore's margin would have been 332 votes if all dimpled ballots were counted. It would have been 242 votes if dimpled ballots were counted only when dimples also appeared in other races.
