So how many manufacturers of op amps are left ?
- Analog Devices + Linear Technology
- JRC/NJR
- Maxim
- Motorola + Fairchild
- Philips
- SGS + Thomson
- Texas Instruments + Burr-Brown + National semiconductor

I count seven. A few more rounds of concentration and it'll be
down to three, like hard disks. Good news for us, no doubt. :-/
