Here's a good one: >>>This woofer better hold 21 1/2 tomorrow or the floodgates will open. I would think you guys would have found the solution to the problem here. Call CYMI HQ and get them to change their name to Lassie Lasers. <<<< Funny stuff from the Cymer thread. Heehee . . .

On the issue of the mgmt owning warrants. This is true but the 500,000 options and warrants are exerciseable at a price less than $3.00 and are not due to the year 2004. Therefore, there is no hurry for mgmt to get revenue and profits soaring as they have more than 7 years before any loss occurs for them. On the issue of CATS, I thought it was a good idea at the time as did many others, but when this continues to drain cash flow as its doing--more than .02c last quarter then its time to surrender. 1 1/2 years is plenty of time to get this going. You must remember they thought it would be up and running at the end of last year. They clearly do not know this technology and are looking for ways to escape. This blunder has cost us all money!

I agree there are not many competors in the small run application specific aspect of the market. However, it is my understanding that last year the ASIC market as a whole did $17 billion in sales. A majority of those sales were done by the larger companis that do not make application specific chips. Those companies make only a couple kinds of chips and expect people who need the chips to use them even though they are not specifically designed for the operation for which they need the chips. Therefore a company such as Chips Express or Jmar could benefit from there small size, and at the same time get economies of scale from these small production runs because of the unique production set ups. Do you know if Chips Express is have any greater success at this than Jmar is currently having. I realize they are not exactly the same but close. In fact why doesn't Jmar contact them and do an agreement with them. This would allow them to have a local location in the United States and Jmar could benefit from any knowledge they might have.
