Mike, This is the point that Mr. Blethen is staking the future of LTX upon: the direction of the semi industry is higher and higher levels of integration, and basically we have gotten to the point where all of the digital stuff can be put on one chip with all of the analog stuff on another one or more chips. Mr. Blethen believes, and this has been reiterated by several of the companies that have shown an interest in Fusion, that the direction of the future is to integrate more and more analog functions into complex digital chips. This means that a tester with both sophisticated digital (high frequency and pin count) and sophisticated analog will be required to test these devices. Also, the analog will have to be closely synchronized with the digital portion of the tester. The fact that Fusion will be LTX's single platform for full digital, mostly digital, and other mixed signal products will yield production cost benifits to LTX as a bonus. Thanks for the discussion. I hope everyone else reading the thread appreciates it as much as I do! BTW, do you still hold TER stock? Have you bought any LTXX yet? Good luck, Greg
