Harry,

Good point. Let me try a lighthearted response.

I drink coke everyday. I use my pentium everyday. I replace my coke
supply about every month. Its a habit. I also replace my computer but
only every 3 years or so. This is also turning into a habit. A computer
costs about $2,500. A six-pack of coke costs $2.50. 80M PC's
sell every year. A billion people in 200 countries drink coke everyday
and only god knows how many cans that is.

If you ask me, the Intel market cap makes sense with Coke's as they
continue to take share from Pepsi worldwide. In fact it is a similar
growth story and has the numbers to prove it. Coke also gets a premium
because in down economic times, people still buy and drink Coke, one
can at a time.

Don't get me wrong on all this, I just think that it is not a slam
dunk that Intel going to 150-200 tomorrow. Next week maybe but not
tomorrow. 50% of all PC's sell in the 4th quarter. What if the sell
through is 5% less than everyone expects. What then?

I hold the stock and will continue to hold it. Selling some when
everyone loves it and buying some when everyone hates it.

Steve
