Hi Frank, Thank you for cheering us up. It really made my day. Now, I hope the Three-Fiver can do something so I don't have to exercise "three-five, three-five". I am getting too old for that. Cheers, jaspert

Frank, very funny. I think all participants will view Three-Five a little differently from your post forward...Do you think "the founders" of TFS had heard this before, errr naming this company. Hmmmm, do you think the sellers of decent size today read the 10K and felt, errr three-fived????Have a great night.

Frank.....the name actually comes from the chemical formula for Gallium Arsenide, an LED material. But, hey, the joke is right on. Look at this......I would like to be the first to have a display silk-screened on one of my old tee-shirts. I would keep it linked onto this thread, so as not to miss anything. FINANCE: NEWS, FUNDING, & ACQUISITIONS Applied Technology Supports E Ink 261 Words 2550 Characters 02/03/98 Semiconductor Industry & Business Survey (COPYRIGHT 1998 HTE Research, Inc.) Copyright 1998 Information Access Company. All rights reserved. Venture capital firm Applied Technology has provided start-up financing for E-Ink Corporation, located in Cambridge, MA. E Ink is a development stage Company created to commercialize discoveries made by Professor Joe Jacobson and a team of researchers at the MIT Media Lab for a new way to make electronic displays. E Ink's approach is based on the concept of "electronic ink" and is protected by multiple patent pendings. Using electronic ink, a flat panel display can be printed on top of nearly any material using existing printing presses. The resulting display offers the prospect of being cheaper than an LCD, drawing 50 times less power, offers better contrast with higher resolution, and can be printed onto a flexible piece of paper or plastic. The team successfully micro-encapsulate a micromechanical display system creating a display material with excellent reflectivity and viewing angle and contrast ratio. The patent-pending microencapsulation process also enables the company to suspend its display material in an ink form that offers design and manufacturing wins. Products using electronic ink displays can achieve new looks by utilizing curves, flexibility, color-matching, ultra-thinness and bigger sizes at a cost-effective price when compared to traditional handheld LCD displays. Ink displays can range in size from very small billboards. Applied Technology operates with a team of three managing partners - Frederick Bamber, David Boucher, and Thomas Grant - and two special * general partners, Eugene Flath and MIT Professor Nicholas Negroponte. The company maintains offices in Austin, TX., Lexington, MA., and Menlo Park, CA. Co-investors along with Applied Technology include Atlas Ventures and Solstice Capital. (I have had a small dinner and conversation with Negroponte, and search on him from time to time...... Austin, Texas, the new display capital of the WORLD !!!<G>) mcd
