- They taped enough material that they could have mentioned us later in
- the program, but my guess is that time constraints prevented them from
- explaining what we do and why we *might* become important (we're not
- yet). Remember, Phoenix Technologies, the company that did
- exceedingly well selling BIOS ROMs to clone makers, wasn't mentioned,
- either.

- I think Bob made a really good documentary. Although I'd have

- of us on the show.
