Tony, a question to Intel shareholders. What will motivate the millions of people out there to upgrade their P-200 computers to the latest chips from Intel? It occurs to me that when looking at this issue, we should examine the constraints toward consumer motivation. Price and application seem to be the major two of course. However, I would suggest another important characteristic is "ease of transition". We all have probably gone through the pain of replacing our hardrives and reloading the numerous programs we have accumulated over the years. many tech-savy investors on SI can probably manipulate the various programs which allow easy transferring of data. I would suggest the average consumer who owns a P-200, would not. So what am I getting at? Intel should be working hard on encouraging the industry to standardized plug ins which allow this transition to be as effortless as possible. Although the industry has come far in the past 5 years stardardizing the ports. Much more needs to be done IMO. Why not a simple hardrive plug in positioned at the front of the computer to transfer the entire old hardrive into your new one? The OS could include the necessary software and automatically partition it for you. Removing motivational bottlenecks to consumer upgrades should be a real focus of Intel. Just some musings on this quiet Saturday.... Best, Michael
