Aren't options just horrible all that time value eroding as we speak. ;-) Buy the dip! Steady as she goes!

FYI Micron Technology, Inc., Announces the Introduction of 2 MEG Zero Bus Turnaround (ZBT) SRAMs, The First in the Series of the ZBT Product Family BusinessWire, Tuesday, April 07, 1998 at 15:00 BOISE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 7, 1998--Micron Technology, Inc., announces the availability of 2 Meg Zero Bus Turnaround(TM) (ZBT) Sync Burst 3.3v SRAM samples, the first in the line of the ZBT product family. By eliminating idle bus turnaround cycles the ZBT architecture provides users with 100 percent bus utilization. This dramatically improves the throughput of communications and networking systems. "We are pleased to bring customers a cost effective solution to their high bandwidth requirements," said Mike Black, Micron Technology's SRAM Marketing Manager. "The 2 Meg ZBT is the first in the line of the ZBT product family that Micron is offering, with the development of the 4, 8 and 16 Meg versions to follow. We feel a broad ZBT product family offering will be a benefit to our customers in serving their various system design needs." Designers were previously limited to synchronous-burst SRAMs that require idle cycles to turn the bus around when switching reads and writes. These idle cycles increased the time required for each bus transition. The ZBT architecture outperforms conventional synchronous-burst SRAMs by eliminating these dead cycles, which gives systems higher performance and increased bandwidth. All critical timing parameters for ZBT SRAMs are referenced to the rising edge of the synchronous clock, which further simplifies the design of high bandwidth switching systems. "Micron worked with IDT and Motorola to develop the ZBT functionality and specification to assure our customers would have a reliable base of compatible multiple sources," added Black. Samples of the 2 Meg are currently available in the following JEDEC-standard 100-pin TQFP packages: T Flow-Through MT55L128L18F 128K x 18 (10, 11, 12 ns) MT55L64L36F 64K x 36 MT55L64L32F 64K x 32 Pipelined MT55L128L18P 128K x 18 (7.5, 8.5, 10 ns) MT55L64L36P 64K x 36 MT55L64L32P 64K x 32 T Micron Technology, Inc., and its subsidiaries manufacture and market DRAMs, very fast SRAMs, Flash, other semiconductor components, memory modules, personal computer systems, and remote intelligent communications (RIC) products.

Larry, I hope Skeeter is a hero, because I have a ton of in-the-money puts moving point for point with the stock. Today, I feel goooooodd!! Of course, when this thing turns, the short covering is really going to drive MU up as they panic. Presently, it looks like big guys want to sell some stock, but no one wants to buy. That volume on the ask just keeps pushing lower and lower. Patrick MU at 28 3/8! Nice!! Hope it breaks through the 28 OK.
