Hey Don, I could have been out drinking and carousing, but stupid me, I spent about a half an hour perusing the 10K. To fully read it, I'd need about a half a day; to fully understand it, probably half a month.... and then I'd have to find somebody to ask a lot of questions. I agree with an earlier post that they are mainly boiler-plate in the sense that they paint a negative picture as to what *could* happen. It's done that way because of those bozos filing lawsuits and promoting the joining in on the suits. I'd rather they spent those legal fees on marketing. I still think that S3 should take a more active role in advertising their product. *Don't get just 3D...get S3D.* Think I could get a job in their marketing department? Amidst all the negativeness, I found a couple of positive statements: 1) The Company has in development several graphics and video accelerators and related software products for currently scheduled introduction throughout 1999. 2) Recognizing the rapid conversion of consumer electronic products from analog to digital technology, the convergence of consumer and computing systems into new and evolving information access devices and the personal computer's inherent position as the most advanced and well-positioned digital platform, the Company intends to leverage its PC system architecture and multimedia acceleration expertise to develop new products for both computer and consumer applications that exploit these trends. If I knew nothing, which I almost do, after reading the other stuff I'd think this company was ready to roll over and go paws up. But these two statements give me hope that all is not lost. Frank might be right about 20+ by year end. JP O&U
