JGoren,re:"block trade..any idea". Sorry, I don't. Unless we are going into recession and everyone cutting back, TXN should be OK. I think the DSP's market is less mature vs. CPU's market. Kind of what Kurlack/ML said. Hate to agree with this man, causing me too much grief several times a year. The communication infra-structure is still under development all over the world. Even in U.S, I believe the 'networking' guys still have things to do. On the other subject about 'engineers have nothing to do in some part of TI'. Doesn't WS like 'layoff'? On the surface, cancelling project is bad. Then one may look at how business is run. You attack as many markets as you can afford, look at the progress and focus on the most promising area(s). I really don't think that is a cause of concern. Hopefully, TXN's business process has the check and balance to know when to start/stop a project. These things happen to every one of us at personal/individual level. The smart one know which is the right way sooner. TXN was not very respected by WS, it probably still is, though it is getting better. Maybe in a year on two and we look back and find that TXN is earning the respect by having a "refined business process" and more focus on 'making money' in addition to 'making product'.
