Let me get this straight: TDFX is going to post a LOSS in the next quarter? Can this be true? What happened? And more importantly, where do we go from here? I'm still long but I have to say that I am just about ready to bail on this one and chalk it up to bad experience. Regards

<<The company continues to sample sell-through data on the retail shelves where Voodoo2 continues to occupy the leading sales position, according to published figures from PC Data, Inc. >> If this is true and they still cannot be profitable why in God's name are we holding? If the OEM market doesn't pan out for 3dfx they are left with retail as their fallback. If they can't make money being in the top sales position what are we doing holding long? I ask this in all seriousness because I don't really have an answer. The lack of a definable road map is not helping matters either. Pat
