Odds? I see the odds as good enough to bet on....but certainly not a sure thing. I no longer find certainty when any form of Government comes into play (though the Peterson case outcome - so far - has renewed my confidence some; but still can`t shake OJ the slash and dasher).

I once bought stock in a company that was coming out with an at-home AIDS test set. They were 2-3 months ahead of the competition seeking FDA approval. Well into the review process, the assigned FDA person up and quit. By the time they assigned a new person, who had to start from scratch based on FDA policy, the competition`s product was approved and being marketed (remember the TV ads?). What appeared to be a pretty sure thing wasn`t....

Even if this PTSC case with Moore is successful or they wise up and join forces with an equitable arrangement, there`s no telling what may happen if they actually get into litigation with Intel. Deep pockets...while on the other hand, if a jury gets involved and sympathizes with PTSC, the award could be huge beyond reason.

Beats the heck out of a lottery ticket! And I still wouldn`t be too surprised if an Intel competitor stepped up and ceased an opportunity (even though, at this point, it ``has a lot of hair on it``).
