In all the doom and gloom let me shine some positives.

IDT had no chance with the WC as a competitive desktop machine and their inhouse process just doesn't cut the mustard. If they had produced mass quantities of slow WC the prices would have been in the $20-40 ranges and they could have lost the company.

At least they are realsising their mistakes and acting before destroying themselves.

If IDTI follows thru on the rumours:

Slash outdated fabs, increasing utilizition at Portland.
Refocus WC to outside fab at IBM to have some chance of adequate price/performance.

I think these are necassary steps they must take. Hopefully they will also focus on integrating the WC with cache, graphics etc and compete for low end.

They would be a great acquisition/partner for someone like ACER, Japan Inc Micron, etc. Or a partner for someone like S3, Cirrus etc.

My advice is for folks to buy in - when the knee jerk reaction hits. This stock will be a steal at $5 range.

Just my opinion.

Good luck ereryone.
