From another thread. Look How much you've learned. Tremendous. You hit it perfectly. NSM and AMD are in trouble. I had dinner with the CEO of NSM in Nov 97. I wasn't the only one at the table with him, but he was spouting about how his $10-$20 processors would revolutionize the industry. It sounds great in speeches, but in reality the applications and desire by the end user is not there. Users don't want to live in an environment 90% controlled by a computing device. Look at Laptops. Everyone was going to carry their LT everywhere In reality Prices have stayed High, Volume flat, and overall acceptance outside of the Business community relatively low. They are too specialized to manufacture, and OEMs like it that way. PDA's..Apple sold off their Newton business in March. The Pilot has flattened out even at under $200.00. It is still cumbersome. He can't have his cake and eat it too.
