Jim, Anyone have comments on this article? Sounds like BIOS will become much more important in the near future. The article has so much speculation it would be hard to make a good analysis. Happy Holidays, Marc

Hi Jim, The last paragraph of your referenced article appears to be the most significant relative to Phoenix, "Still, "If Intel controls what and how stuff gets put in the BIOS, that's really significant," said one analyst. "That's a wonderful control choke point." " It is very surprising for me, (as evidenced by the recent lack of activity in PTEC's stock), that only this one analyst and the rest of us PTEC investors here, seem to realize the strategic importance and value of the BIOS as a "control choke point".
