Geezle NG! You spin the best Pump I've seen around here since '97! <vbg> What I'm trying to estimate in my surfing research is the most likely time FRAMe for one or more of these 2-3 timing licensees of ours to start second sourcing our precious little IP. I've almost got the Platform ready and we're going to need some bodaciously bad _ _ _ _ fuel supplies to get me my $75 Moon shot. <Hooo Haaa> Seriously though. I think someone besides Fujitsu must be PDC to start ramping some 0.25 to 0.18 generation FRAM for something. Fujitsu's going to be spinning a 1Mb unit next spring and I suspect that's about as far as the competition can let them run without starting to get nervous about their own market shares. I will grant you that they probably know a lot more than we do about TI's drive to a 0.90 generation embedded FRAM, but I figure it has to be "motivating" much of the IMEC/STARC type activity on SoC process/design applications. Not to mention that MOT/IFX/Agere project which I assume is directed at discrete units. These guys can't "stay in school" forever can they? <Hoo Hoo> And where is Wily? After the CC I can't believe that Fujitsu hasn't ramped beyond the 2500/mo wafers, but I need his Numerological confirmations to be sure. <sigh> ...I may have to go beg him... ...But if I do, then I'll just have to go take it out on that "so called" Carl Bilow guy for completely failing to take a suite in preparation for our Grand Moon Shot Celebrations. 0\|0
