The simple solution I see is make a simple rule:
No TRON chips in this country until the average price of a 100ns 256K DRAM
is $1.50.

It is nice that japan can make a new line of processors, keep the price
of DRAMs way up and then try to take over CPU market.  I think that
Motorola and Intel will survive the upcomming CPU dumping but I don't
think that Nat'l Semiconductor (which make the best processor I think)
will survive.

IF the goverment of this country makes japan put our cpu's in products
sold in this country then that will at least let up sell them some 
CPUs.  I don't like all the gifts that this country keeps giving japan,
we help them out, deffend them and they still won't follow agreements.

I also think that Toshiba should be on the aucton block, and sold
to the higest american citizen bidder.  There is no excuse to alow a
company to exist that we help out and the sells our high-tech info.

(this is one way to get lots of email :-)
This is in the wrong group but DRAM prices are hurting everyone that
buys computers.
