Not directly, they won't. They will be getting more business once the ASIC
works and since it doesn't look like they'll be able to actually get any
damages from the guy who was part of Bits n' Pieces (he declared personal
bankruptcy), they will have to settle with indirect sales boosts from the
ASIC. They have been quite honest about user upgrading of the Zip boards
and I think they are handling it very well.
