Wow, that is a factor of 10! Lemme see - if we use peak-to-peak instead of RMS (RMS would be the most honest claim), we can inflate our numbers by a factor of 2 x sqrt(2), is that correct? Still way off the claim.

>Perhaps I should get an attorney and sue those companies that make such statements! In truth I have no interest in the idiots that are running around making such claims. There are other things that confront me – like survival in Silicon Valley. Sometimes I almost feel like I am going to succeed and then - - reality hits me! :)

Perhaps it is time to move somewhere else (like, some other planet).
