A previous article said that IBM gave up on JJ technology because it was a pain. Apparently the Japanese persisted and have something to show for it. Is this another technology they're going to dominate? Why can't we develop some leading-edge technology that we can export to them instead of us importing their chips? I heard a forecast last week that unless we do something in the flat screen and HDTV areas, we'll lose another couple million jobs by the turn of the century. We can't afford to continue this trend. When will it turn around? Wayne Scott
