Throwing money at a problem does not make it go away or finish up a project any faster. This is the same attitude our government has. And it hasn't helped us any. True, you can finish a project faster with more money than with no money, but just because you have the bucks doesn't equate to a solution. Designing IC's are a bit harder than you think. -- John Sparks |D.I.S.K.
