  *sigh*

  Howbout about a zillion other chips, including big-balls processors
that dominate the ENTIRE high-end embedded market?  Howbout a zillion
other chips that have nothing to do with mainstream BiggaHertz(tm)
desktop crap?  Howbout still another zillion chips that aren't even
digital?  And that's ignoring all the component-level stuff they make
that aren't even ICs.

  My Motorola cell phone is indestructible.  But THAT'S just an opinion.

  Sheesh, Patrick.
