Not being argumentative, but aren't you using the same Rockwell K56 chipsets 
as Motorola?  If so, how could a problem that stopped them (and Rockwell) 
from shipping _not_ affect you as well?  And, if Rockwell has delayed 
shipment of K56 chipsets, where are you going to get the parts for production 
for the above-announced March 24 in-store rollout????
