Can Star Office read the spreadsheet?

One of the effects of using chained dollars is as follows:

If a company sells $20B dollars of CPUs in year 1 and $20B dollars of CPUs in year 2, but the CPUs in year 2 are 50% faster than those in year 1, then when GDP is calculated, the $20B dollars is counted as $30B dollars, because year 2 is producing a 50% increase in processing power over year 1.

They don't even use processing power; they just use MHz. So the P4 ramp that brings increasing MHz without a corresponding increase in processing power just makes this GDP manipulation even more deceiving.

Sounds crazy. Is crazy. But that's what the govt feeds us.

IMO, the above is a better explanation of why Greenspan says computer spending is recovering while Intel does not than the theory that AMD is causing Intel problems.
