Pardon me. I am surprised that Mr. Barrett is ignorant of the fact that Intel owns at least 50% of the design of the CPU chip in the Simputer. They obtained that from Digital when they bought our FABs and our work on the StrongARM. Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StrongARM Intel continues to make low-power chips for PDAs ("handheld devices") as the Intel XScale. They must have caught him on a bad day (like the day after he found out that AMD won the deal for the laptop). md -- Jon "maddog" Hall Executive Director Linux International(R) email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 80 Amherst St. Voice: +1.603.672.4557 Amherst, N.H. 03031-3032 U.S.A.
