Kinda late in the news!!

SuperChips is doing fine (A Superchip from Superchips is what everyone is talking about here).

Superchip is a "sucker" company using the type of marketing that uses a name simular to a good/proven company...

Superchip is over (good)
Superchips is fine (as always)

Mike, do I get a free chip now? LOL!!!!

Hey Lightningcrashz,

You also posted this in at least one other section, and I also responded to you there.

This happened back sometime in March, and it has nothing to do with Superchips Inc.

The company that went out of business was called "ADS", and they deliberately for years played on the name "Superchip", and in fact there were at one point lawyers involved in that mess.

ADS was a very minor player who had generally not-so-hot products, and consequently they folded their doors. We hate to see anyone lose their job of course.

I'm hoping the day will come when people are no longer confused by their ploy of calling their product a "Super Chip".
