Too bad C&G planted the kiss of death on Silicon Graphics whom they visited a couple of times. Used to be considered a good place to work for computer types. Tony, SGI is a classic example of trying to sit on a lead. They remind me of the Houston Oilers under Jerry Glanville and Jack Pardee. They lost a lot of their best people to more innovative (and lucrative) companies. The management of that company has no one to blame but themselves for their demise. Scumbria

RE: Potato chips or computer chips Supposedly it was Dr. Barry Boswick, his CEA chair, who delivered the classic line. Of course, the party dispute on semiconductors represents a major difference in the parties. Japan was allowed to deliver a near knockout blow, and, under pressure from the U.S. industry we got the semiconductor agreement, formed Sematech, etc. Then Korea used foreign loans to bolster its chaebol and punched up Japan. Now Micron has led the fight to impose anti-dumping duties on Korean companies, and is concerned about the IMF bailout of Korean Inc. which is actually a battle as to whether Micron or Samsung will dominate the memory industry for the next five years. Those of either party who believe in simon-pure free trade and free markets are determined not to protect or subsidize the American firms. This administration is far more interested in American Hitech than its predecessors, but there is a hell of lot more to be done. With a few small exceptions, Intel is the only (computer) semiconductor firm making profits, and there sits the FTC trying to cripple it.
