Re: <<<I'm not sure where you are getting your information about bad
product mix. . .>>>

No information -- just a rather obvious inference drawn from the news and comments on this board about the sub-$1000 (OK, sub-$1500) computer and the major chunk of the market that it has attained. Two months ago, there were those on this board still in a state of denial that such a thing could exist. Now it is denial about profit margins for this and coming quarters. Some here still talk about 60% gross margins, but those days are over for now (JMHO). And don't tell me they will make it up with volume!

Charlie.

P.S. Not trying to panic anyone here -- these are just my inferences. But I am pretty fully invested at this point (no INTC)-- mostly in IRA's, or I would be short. Long-term investors in cash accounts can hang in for the eventual recovery. Those on margin on INTC have a problem to work out of, and they have to figure out the best strategy to do so.
