Victoria - Re: "Do you think one smart move in tech in 1997 is CYRX sold to NSM" It was smart for Cyrix shareholders - assuming they were bright enough to unload their stock after the price run up after the buy-out announcement. (Count me in that group!) As for NSM, I think they bought damaged goods. Their products (Cyrix) were "almost" good, but not quite good. Their profitability record stunk. NSM/Halla had a dream, a vision to catapult NSM into prominence with the "system on a chip" idea he "borrowed" and brought with him from LSI logic. He figured that his Intel/LSI background, with Cyrix's x86 and integrated MediaGX chip set, were enough to launch his dream. Well, sometimes when you dream, you end up having nightmares. Halla's nightmare has begun. Paul
