I heard, and this may not be accurate, was that the drop was inspired by news of $100k loss for this(?) quarter, announced by TI. Agreed that their pc's are miserable in some ways, but it seems unlikely that they will lose money over the long term as a company. As yet I know little of their newly announced 'professional' pc, but I would imagine that it signals some serious interest in the pc market rather than the fiasco of their 99/4. Either way, I wouldn't invest in TI, there are much better prospects out there on the market. This is assuming their 50pt drop is not regained by market vagaries. uiuccsb!akhtar
