"I would challenge this one in court because it is obvious to someone skilled in the art, i.e ME!" -- Keep in mind that it had to be obvious at the time it was filed, in 1993. I'm not so well versed in the history of chip development to know if that would be the case, but if it wasn't obvious then, and for whatever reason it seems obvious now, then that would be pretty good evidence that these guys came up with a great idea (at that time) that everyone is now making use of without compensating the inventor.
