        You're right, in a perfect world this would be the case, however mistakes
can and have happened. To each his own Olin, I myself find the extra minute
it takes to confirm the spec in the chip's datasheet is worth my time, it
obviously isn't worth your time. FWIW perhaps the situation I speak of
doesn't exist anymore, maybe Philips has been clamping down, I wouldn't
know. All I know is I was bit by a part once (have no idea what is was
anymore, was a few years ago), and I won't let it happen again. TTYL
