Well no, they don't want to sell "lots and lots of chips". What they want to do is sell more chips than the other guys, regardless of the volume. They want a high percentage of the marketplace, not simply high numbers. Allowing your product line to stagnate is suicidal. The other guys will take your market share in an instant. -- David Andrews A. Duda and Sons, Inc.
