I guess the abbrasive thing to respond with - to those who suggest what you wrote is - forget it, pal, you don't know what you're talking about. The Meta 6000 may or may not be dead. It rather depends on a lot of money - more than we're trying to raise to recapture the Company, and it's on the back burner. The real issue is what the extensive research has actually ACHIEVED. And the more I learn about it the more impressed I am. I've go to run... more later take care Tom

I'm still here, but I have not been motivated to get into the middle of discussions of who is screwing whom. The modem example is not that good to demonstrate the advantages of going to .25u since it essentially is still an audio (or a very low frequency RF) frequency device. As a matter of fact, most of the electronics industry is associated with devices that are made in 'old' technologies, not .35u or .25u. Until recently the best selling processor was the Zylog Z80. The imbedded market still probably sells more eight bit processors than sixteen bit. When a fab is no longer competitive with its leading edge products it gets into a cash cow jellybean production mode. You don't trash a billion dollars of equipment 'Just like that'. Last year, the world semiconductor industry made about one hundred million transistors for every man, woman, and child on the planet; the only thing that humans made more of were printed characters. Most of the volume was not at .25u. Frank
