Garry, Samsung is also a licensee for the PA-RISC … they're the 18th largest company in the world with '93 revenue over $58B. Just because they enter into an agreement or become a licensed manufacturer of a particular product, you can't read much into it. For instance, Samsung and HP have a joint venture called, appropriately, Samsung Hewlett Packard (SHP on the Tokyo exchange). SHP and Samsung Electronics are currently having a knockdown drag out fight over the printer market in Korea. There are rumors galore based upon some semblance of fact, then you've got the idiots making up their own just to yank your chain. Hopefully something good will happen, but, until there is any kind of official announcements one way or the other just take it one day at a time. It'll probably all turn out to be not as good as you hope nor as bad as you fear.
