<<went to napa and sonoma regularly when i lived in incline village.>> Ahh, you active duty guys always got the cush locales <ggg>. I always got Mother Rucker, Ft. Drum, etc. No sunchine, vineyards or beaches, but lots of sticktime for this helicopter doctor. Try the Pride '94 cabernet. Should be able to find it for ~ $45. Got 5 of 'em stashed in the cellar; if the party schedule works for me, I'll bring one! <<i just hope someone is there to tell me what the answers mean.>> The question about Chromatic has 3 implications: 1. Farmwald also founded Chromatic, and RMBS gave them $1,000,000 cash plus a license in return for royalties and stock. I'd like to know if they overpaid (ref. their ROI after buyout), which might cast doubt on their judegment/treatment of founders special pets. 2. If Chromatics graphics controller failed due to a technical or economic factor resulting from using RMBS, well, we all know the implication of that. I doubt it, but I'd like to know what happened there. 3. Their near term rev. assumptions had included more than just nintendo. The collapse of the Cirrus and Chromatic accounts may or may NOT spell poorly for the coming 2 quarters earnings. BP
