    Hmm.. dumping assets? What could this imply? A market shift perhaps. I can hear the suits at Compaq now...

    Yes that's it. Quickly remove all assets from the internet as that is a fairly stable market now. Quickly divert all extra funds into building radiation proof cases to withstand the 1GHz chip we're gonna smash in there.

    ...and while we're at it...

    Rumour has it that someone has found a way to remove those silly screws from the backs of our boxes. One million to R&D to come up with a new way to prevent kiddies from prying open their boxes.
