jmac, re margin erosion Good Morning. Intel stated that their 1st quarter margins would be lower; '97 margins would fall to 60%, +/- 2%; and (according to WSJ) long term could fall to 50%. This is significant. A percentage point difference in margin has a big impact on bottom line earnings (if there is an accountant on thread, he could elaborate). All of last years forward looking statements predicted higher gross margins. This is a reversal of the trend. Don't get me wrong, I would buy more Intel yesterday at 147 if I could. What was the saying?, "futures so bright ya gotta wear shades"? Just wanted to add a note that everything isn't perfect, never is in any business. John
