On a larger note, is anyone else feeling like a good 2/3 of the companies you've been doing business with for years have been acquired in just the last few? Linear, National, Altera, Fairchild, Intersil, IRF, Avago, Freescale, and that's just off the very top of my head. -- Rob Gaddi, Highland Technology -- www.highlandtechnology.com Email address domain is currently out of order.

Tyco has bought out MANY of the connector manufacturers. Jon

It will be interesting to see the market share against others like Cypress for example. cheers, Francesco -- www.neutronix.co.uk

See above to fix.Avago was not acquired. Avago acquired Broadcom and after that renamed themselves to more recognizable name.
