    LOL

    Well, I can still remember when I started at that level. It sure was hard to get wiser. I sure spew a few silly Q. back then.

    At least he an't ever gonna ask that Q. again!

      Funny thing is....Matrox doesn't fab the chips.

      They engineer them.
      They design the boards.
      They assemble the cards.
      But they do not have the facilities to fab the chips themselves. They have always had someone else do that for them.

      So the guys question isn't that crazy...just a little off base

                        It's a Dutch soccer-club... not spelled with the A

                        Jorden.

                        P.S: Because Steve didn't get it, and all the Dutchies here will instantly, I'll give you outsiders this: It ain't Feyenoord, Ajax or PSV...
