Not a good sign, MCHP has been good at getting new design wins in a broad range of consumer products.

Harry I moved back to BC (West Kootenays) in November. I had an idea that I could go into business here programming this and that. I became a member at local Chamber of Commerce(s) and discovered that small business in the Kootenays is (well) small. Franchised small businesses have good inventory and point of sales systems. Mom and pop shop budgets cannot justify costs of computer automated systems. I did get two recent inquiries from recruiters in Vancouver but no follow through. One a, US company, located on South Marine Drive, was developing an election system for the US; the other was developing a school/college tracking and scheduling system for the US. Right now I am fiddling with a day trading system, I can (well I hope to) make more money trading than working right now. I need to collect more historical tick data. Shaw cable high speed internet is impressive here, I am getting 2 mega bit per second downloads -- that's just basic service! Lawrence
