One of our investors has a Harley collection back to (IIRC) 1934. Not bikes back to '34, but a bike from every year between now and '34, plus a few older, I think back to 1927 or so, again IIRC. Is it OK to hate someone like that? He also has one of the original 'lost' Easy Rider bikes.

As far as DLP failures TI says the reason the chips fail is contamination in the fab or field. They indicate the fab comtamination issues are solved but that some OEMs are not quite up to speed on careful assembly and packaging. I would hope that as the process matures things improve.

Take that FWIW and YMMV. I don't want a fight moving to this thread. For more discussion we can always revisit the (in)famous DLP projector thread.
