Morning Tom,

Just to put in my 2 cents worth, RMBS had been discussed a lot on the G&K thread and StockHawk makes the most logical argument for Intel's supposed "mistake" in regards to RMBS. This is stolen from the G&K thread:

In light of Barrett's statements about Rambus being a mistake for Intel, would you consider Rambus a high
return/risk ratio?

Just speculating here, but perhaps Intel is nervous about the power RMBS is amassing. They secured royalty
agreements very quickly and Micron and the rest are perhaps likely to fall in line. I'm reminded of that line in a song
by Sting: "when you find your servant is your master"

Think about how IBM must have felt concerning Microsoft in the "early years". First IBM nurtures the small
company, but eventually MSFT morphs into a gorilla with incredible power. Perhaps INTC sees a similar
nightmare.

Have a great weekend and enjoyed the golf last Saturday with you and Coonaz.

My Best,
Joel
