The best explanation, they are not being completely honest. I shorted altr today, have been short dell from 99, been short egrp,klic and others. Many of the high flyers are folding while the pundits get on the air and talk about buying opportunities, I personally believe that many of them are selling into every little rally. Everybody and their brother were pumping up dell, only to have it completely fail in each rally attempt, why? because they were selling into them. This is just my opinion.

Hi Thomas; You had me LOL with those last few posts. Post some of that wit over on the Kahuna and Mohan threads, will you? Well I've been designing with those Alteras again today (as usual) and I have to admit, though the Xilinx parts are quite a bit cheaper in terms of price/performance, those Altera tools are sweet to use, and I'm getting to like them more and more. Just got Version 8.1 of PLS-MAGNUM-0G (i.e. MAGNUM/VHDL), from Altera. I need to install it sometime this week. As long as I am rambling, I think VHDL [Insert appropriate vulgarism here]. Recent EE-Times said that Verilog was being used quite a bit more than VHDL. Problem with VHDL is that it is too general a language to be good at the specific problem of providing simulatable source code for silicon compilers. -- Carl
