8. Jerry Sanders, for 28 years the CEO of Silicon Valley's
third biggest chip company, Advanced Micro Devices, is a
board member of Sematech. He would disagree with a lot of
what I've said. Also, it was his company that I left to
start my company. He challenged me on that issue, too.
Cypress and AMD are competitors who have disagreed in
court--twice--on intellectual property issues. But Sanders
and I agree on one statement, the one he and I and more than
50 other Silicon Valley CEOs signed asking Congress to cut
off corporate welfare.
9. LSI Logic's CEO is Wilf Corrigan, a friend and competi-
tor. Wilf and I agree on ending corporate welfare, as his
signature at the end of the corporate welfare letter at-
tests.
10. NASA's technobabble is award winning: "molecular beam
epitaxy" doing "ordered growth" in an "atom by atom manner"
of "near theoretical" atomic quality in an "ultra-vacuum of
10-14 torr" as part of a "cost and time-efficient program,"
which "could be a model for future commercial space endeav-
ors."

14. Prediction: I have a 2,000-line, super-enhanced TV in my
house that qualifies as HDTV but uses a normal TV input
signal. That system will be deployed commercially, and the
expensive new HDTV being pushed on a reluctant industry by
the FCC will stall; no wonder CBS and NBC want ATP grants to
build the first HDTV station.
