Moonray: //OT// But there are also some surprising images, including a toilet showroom in Tokyo where a $3,500 model made by Toto uses microprocessors to control a seat warmer, an automatic lid opener, an air deodorizer, a water spray and a blow-dryer. Sounds like something every serious fisherman would want to install on his/her Bass-boat (thinking of those long hours spent trolling miles from any facility). Do you suppose that blow-dryer 'styles' as well?<ggg> Regards, Wolf

Moonray: Ha! If I had a toilet with those gizmos because I'd never leave the Sacred House, I'd develop piles within a week!!! Hopefully all those 40 billion dollars don't include things like this! I was thinking yesterday about just how "dominant" LSI's position in its segment is. I should split out 1997 and 1998 estimates of revenue into LSI and non-LSI related segments and compare the growth rates just for fun. Could be interesting to see how LSI stacks up against the rest. LSI does about 1% of the total world-wide revenue in chips. PCs may gobble up something like 17-20 billion in DRAM (boy did this shrink over the last few years), micros maybe xxx?, therefore LSI does x % of its targeted segments. That would give a better feel. It will still be small but will be bigger than 1%!!! Shane.
