well, you already pay similar royalties on practically everything else in a PC. scsi, ethernet, mpeg, most of the core logic, processor busses, etc, etc, etc. Everything is patented, everything has a charge somewhere. I thought it was really funny the way people went into a tizzy over the idea of paying a royalty for 1394/firewire IP as well. I guess people don't mind paying for IP if they don't know they're paying for it. Sure makes them look dumb from my perspective.... kim At 8:46 AM -0800 2/19/99, Matt Peterson wrote: >Built-in on Macs and Sonys today. >Now if only Apple doesn't kill it by mandating that $1/port licensing >fee... > >2/19/99 2:49 AM Kim Flint (kflint@annihilist.com) wrote: > >>(Or maybe firewire will finally arrive, that would be even better.) > ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
