Joe - Re: " NSM didn't fork over $550M. NSM handed over (or more preciely, pulled out of thin air) NSM shares that at the time were worth that much. Now the same shares would be worth only a little over 1/3 of that. No money changed hands." The $550 Million was the purchase price. It is reflected in the DILUTED earnings per share - due to the increased number of shares. Of course, NSM's LOSSES are what have been diluted. And NO - the money was NOT pulled out of THIN AIR. It came right out of NSM shareholder's pockets. Paul

Jozef, Re: "And, btw, NSM didn't fork over $550M. NSM handed over (or more preciely, pulled out of thin air) NSM shares that at the time were worth that much. Now the same shares would be worth only a little over 1/3 of that. No money changed hands." WRONG AGAIN JOZEF!!!!! CYRIX had around $100Mil in ze bank!!!! NSM picked up $100M in cash!!!!

oe - Re: "What is so special October 1998? " Nothing special to me. However, Dan B posted an article form that date that quoted Joe (?) McDonough of Cyrix/NSM saying what a wonderful ramp up NSM had done on the 0.18 micron process. Paul
