- Well... let's suppose that this chip was burning holes in PC Boards
- and melting plastic ZIF sockets. If so, then those customers are
- probably already a little nipped. Let's suppose that the only way out
- of the situation is to delay the project for whatever reason and then
- suggest that they wait just a little while longer for something
- totally awesome and cool-running. The customers are still a little
- nipped, but if they are told that they won't have to do any
- redesigning and that they get a little while longer to work out all of
- their chipset bugs, then they might not be so nipped come introduction.
