It actually strikes me more and more that, I will bet you dollars to

the technology, its about the Licenses... its not what do you make,
its who do you have). Why take the risk on designing a new project
when for a stipend per month you can have the whole market to
yourself?



How many dollars you got because I can come up with a lot of donuts?

Yes it is Matt. I'm sure you will be hearing from their lawyers soon if they
can finish up the licensing deal for the peanuts.
