Limtex, I doubt that it is OEM sales. Who knows really. Presumably people buy product via retail channels or from electronics websites where you can save a couple bucks. That must add up after a while. People keep commenting on sales reflecting higher margin PCMCIA cards and other flash products, but my understanding is that CF sales surpassed these items earlier in the year. At least I recall reading it somewhere. By the way, I tried out the new Epson PhotoPC 700 which can produce digital (.mpg) files in high resolution mode in the range of 350 KB and the processing is down to about 4 seconds. My PhotoPC 600 created (high resolution) 120 KB files in 12 seconds. Thus, processing speed has increased 12 fold between generations. I think the issue of CF card write times is blown out of proportion. The on-board processor and embedded software seem to be most essential. Hope things look brighter the rest of the year for those of us who continue to have faith in SNDK. Ausdauer
