No. Please don't contaminate the net with guesses.  I used the word 
'apparently' only because I got the information from CompuAdd.  If I
had gotten the same info from another source, I would have stated that
TI as the manufacturer as a fact.  But you, on the other hand, are only
guessing.  Please be more careful.
