Yes, 'tis true that CREE Research Inc. (Research Triangle Park, NC) has
_advertised_ a 3-die (RGB) LED.  Let's emphasize that word _advertise_
though.  When requesting a sample of their RGB, one of their service reps
said, "Oh, we are 'still working' on that..."  But they did send me a sample
of one of their blue LEDs.
