I've owned OAKT for a long time...am still awaiting the ramp-up for DVD. For sure, now would be the wrong time to sell. There is a lot of evidence out there that suggests DVD is catching on well (forget the stupid negative press, people are buying). CUBE is clearly the leader in MPEG-related technology, but that doesn't mean others won't benefit. Like, my example of DVD controllers...can anyone fill me in here on the suppliers and if/how OAKT is fitting in? Is it possible that OAKT could supply DVD controllers whilst at the same time other vendors provide the MPEG component? I'm under the impression that these are individual functions. Like, MPEG provides for data compression/de-compression and a controller drives the actual DVD(as well as CD) electronics and mechanism. Dan
