Joe,

Stop the R&D expenditures then what are they going to do? Change to a real estate company? OAKT is not dead yet, they made 2 right moves yesterday. Stop the video/audio business and introduced new people to the board (of course changing the whole mgt team is good idea but this merely a day-dream). I think they should think about the digital imaging market (Pixel Magic) as there is great potential out there (scanner, digial camera, copier, fax all use them). They should also focus more on marketing their existing money losing product like mpeg2 decoder. They are expensive to develop but so far don't benefit the company (CUBE must be glad). Qunatum's marketing is pretty good and now let's see what the ex-Quantumer will do to OAKT.
