I think Stephen Pelc in his mail pretty much put the issue
on the spot, read and learn. If PH are in it for lost market
shares, well be my guest!

As long as you pay they are on your side, you see, its all
about getting hard core shares of a huge market,otherwise 
the simply do something else.

Thats right, but our customers does and they pay only for
working things,to schdule, on time, to callculated costs,
so any thing of "unmentioned issues" regarding to a device
adds of everything and thats hard core loss of 
invested money.

The project im involved at the moment involves at least
2K LPC2106 evry third month, and probably more, so summed
over a 1-3 year period it starts to be costly and by
all rights if our customers not happy we are not happy.

Thats quite minor in volume, but in the past i have been
involved with the biggest of elephants in wich we did purcases
every 6 monts in numbers of 10's of millions devices,
each device costing in these volumes 1,5euro you can imagine
the money involved, the contracts, insurances, and the whole
big holabaluba around just the purcases, one unmentioned "minor" 
issue here can and have havoced entire projects!
