To stockholders there was a lot of information (press) made
available in the past year and a half about the competing
projects within the company.  The most important was that the
projects were competing (there would be a winner).  Then the
announcement a while back regarding the release of the GaAs
foundry and the terms of the release were a clue that the
competition was on the bell lap (at least on this heat).  

The terms under which Steve Chen is 'leaving' look to have much
the same ring as the terms that Cray 'left' under.  We will not
know for sure of course until the dust settles.  

After all what is dust but very small bits of sand.
