Those customers have been around for a few years, so they wouldn't be figured in to any "new MIPS shipped" calculations, although I'm just guessing about that. Even if they are, there's only a very small number of them (I can't and won't be more specific), so I don't think they skew the numbers that much. There are a couple of possibilities here in the US that would dwarf even those numbers if things go as hoped, so we might someday get to that 50% of MIPS shipped figure. I can hope, anyway. :) Mark Post
