Well as you know I've been an Intel stockholder for many years, though I don't have as big a position as I had in the past. I used the funds I got from selling INTC to buy NT and QCOM so I'm not complaining <<GG Recently I purchased a Dell P400 loaded with memory fast cards, etc. A bit later I bought a reconditioned $600 Compaq C 333 without monitor) Thre's no question the Dell is better, but the cheap compaq is good enough and I actually use it more often. When I made the jump from my original DOS IBM PC up to a 376 I never used my old one again.
There will always be people who want a very fast PC - people like me who don't really need it but want it and have the money, the people into CAD and hard number crunching, animators.programers and creative high IQ types in general. Also INTC is moving up the server ladder as fast as possible- all those cheap computers will need servers. The situation actually looks better for MSFT-even cheap PCs need an OS>
It's nice that you have been around long enougf to hear this before- I,ve heard it too since the early 1990's. INTL is partially reinventing itself and that could be tricky process. I do think there is a substantional risk in the hollowing out of center of the market
