Does the following news affect UTEK? I know very little about the company, but was getting ready to start researching it. From news.com 2/24/98 <<In creating the advanced chip, researchers employed standard ultraviolet light to etch the lines in which the transistors are laid--meaning that the industry doesn't have to invest in next-generation equipment using electrons or X-rays, a massively expensive proposition.
