- Perhaps there is nothing wrong with it from strictly a technology

- Rather than trying to compete at things you have no prayer of competing
- at, its better to put those same resources into things you *can* compete
- at.

- If you think AT can go head-to-head with PC graphics chip manufacturers,
- do you think they also can for 3D? For OpenGL accelerators? Its a big
- world out there, and you can't hope to succeed by competing with the
- ultra-specialized hardware companies.
