Paul, I was just reviewing some old posts.
About 15 months ago I posted that either Intel was a crazy
screaming buy ($55) or I was a crazy screaming lunatic.
I put my money where my mouth (keyboard?) was and
bought more Intel at $57. While all the ballots aren't in on
whether I personally am bonkers, it now seems in retrospect
that all my thoughts on Intel were accurate. They were:

1- New Windows NT coming out
2- Corporate upgrade cycle
3- Lack of meaningful competition
4- 3-D chips making spiffy games and apps.
5- Best managed tech company ever
6- Unrecognized manufacturing prowess

While I wasn't smart enough to sell at $165 and rebuy more at
$126, I think that the same arguments still hold. I held my
breath to see what was coming from AMD. Not enough horsepower
to make the big boxmakers desert mother. I am still looking for
$200+ in calender 1997. High beta stocks can give you serious
stomach problems, but when the fundamentals remain sound the
business reasons for Intels continued success remain in place,
the growth picture (and a 20+ pe times NEXT year's earning)
seems reasonable to me.

Thanks a ton for your reporting on the AMD K-6 rollout.
In my view you are exactly right - a clean single but
no home run. While INTC continues to hit doubles, triples and
the occaisional grand slam. It is a testimony to Intel's
technical prowess that it takes an academy award technological
performance just to come up with a me-too chip.

Thanks too for your reporting on RayW. I haven't laughed so
hard in years. Pretty good detective work. I am an amateur genealogist and have to do similar digging into the
written records to determine what really happened. Nice work!
You seem to have single-handedly driven a fair fraction of the
AMD uber alles crowd into stunned silence. There is actually
an Intel thread again!

Thanks again and continued good investing.
Best regards,
Burt
