ALL: Anothony, here is something you missed from that STM interview that I think is VERY interesting... Q: Many of your competitors are increasing their use of semiconductor foundries. What is your strategy in this area? A: Since we believe that our manufacturing costs are as good as any of the foundries', and since having your own manufacturing is vital to producing system-on-a-chip, it is important to us. What we do is convenient, economical, and viable, and we are pleased with it. Right now we use foundries for about 15% of our production, for the high-end, vanilla-type products. Well at least I'm not the only crack pot ;) Regards, Steve
