Looks like DSP dominance to me. :-) Oh, and I wouldn't be investing in TXN unless you did know at least part of the future. ;-) Good point. But when it comes to the gyrations of the market, I certainly don't know the future. "Future," in this case, being measured in weeks, not months. BTW, I put in an order at 51.5 and didn't get filled. Not one share. Will try again over the next few days. Later -- Pat

When broadband access is available, "you'll see applications that use that bandwidth, that then will shift the burden back to the CPU and graphics performance and we're off to the races again," he said. "That shift is not going to happen in 1998." In the meantime, Mr. Thornhill said he's recommending investors put their money in stocks of bandwidth companies.
