Yes, that did happen in September, this happened yesterday (Oct 2/2008): http://www.eetimes.eu/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=210605347&cid=NL_eeteu "We feel our offer is too compelling not to take it to shareholders," said Steve Sanghi, chairman, president and CEO at Microchip, during a conference call with analysts following the announcement of the offer on Thursday (Oct. 2). "We came to this point after we heard from Atmel that they were not interested." -- http://www.wearablesmartsensors.com/ http://www.softwaresafety.net/ http://www.designer-iii.com/ http://www.unusualresearch.com/ _______________________________________________ AVR-chat mailing list AVR-chat@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-chat
