Pravin, Off Topic I've always wanted to see a launch. I'm going to make arrangements to do so. Yeah, monkeys can do some pretty cool stuff. I don't think you want a wing, unless it is very small, involved with things that have to reach escape velocity. Have you ever looked at ORB? They have a giant backlog and excellent technology, but got beat up recently for restating some accounting stuff. orbital.com techstocks.com Bob

Pravin, Look what Sony is cooking up for their next Playstation: eetimes.com 30 million polygons per second!!! Graphics processors seem to have already exceeded the complexity of CPUs in many cases. If you look at the inside of Sega's Dreamcast, the CPU is dwarfed by the graphics chip. The number of transistors in graphics chips these days are much larger than CPUs if you exclude cache. By the end of '99, NSM should be able to pick up a graphics company very cheaply considering all the integration that is taking place. Buying a graphics chip company would be good for NSM's long-term plans. Scumbria is working on a graphics project, maybe he can add something. Bob
