Limtex, I continue to be optimistic, because I believe flash technology has only just begun to be applied. A previous poster mentioned an informal survey showing that relatively few people on this thread have digital cameras. It seems to me that there is a good reason why the digitals haven't caught fire yet--the resolution is still too low. Whenever you read an article about digital cameras, they always point out that the resolution is nowhere near that of film. In the new few years, that situation will start to change. (If you have any doubt about the difference in performance, listen to one of the new 20-bit music CDs compared with the first CDs issued back about 15 years ago.) The emergence of better cameras will be excellent for this stock, because the higher resolution cameras will require much more storage capability. The same will be true for later generation mobile phones. The manufacturers keep selling electronics by cramming more functions into them, so that they don't have to lower the purchase price. Jim
