no, quite logical:
Au - periodic chart symbol for gold
tech - short for technologies
re - short for recycling
they probly pay cash for silicon wafers and recycle them
extreme coincidence or IDM fan CEO? you make the call!
my guess - some old fart who's a james bond fan (either that or it's his
last name, CEOs are so frikkn conceited)
np: General Magic/Rechenkonig (Mego)
BTW i always thought the "Ae" trademark was clever - made it seem as if they
were a new element!
