The nuisance value for acer is probably small anyhow. They have a blanket license with intel and amd. Intel is not covered on the 890 as far as I remember and there may be some infringement besides amd and intel. other processors. I am just pleased we are still in the game. A week ago mass depression and today we are alive to live another day. It may be petty, but I'll overlook it just for now. I am happy. HTC is the big catch. no settlement
