Brian,
It is good to chat with you again after ignoring me for so long. I wish Jack is back, too. Now, I will attempt to answer all your concerns.
"Have you ever considered that you may be wrong?"
Yes, I have but slight. Have you considered you may be grossly wrong? You have in the past year, you know!
"INTEL'S MONOPOLY IS OVER , can't you see the evidence?"
In the past few years, Intel did encounter fierce competitions. So, your question is emphasizing a known fact that Intel does not have monopoly. I wish Intel does. If you are referring to Intel's high profit margin, that is the manifestation of Intel's superb execution of its business and competitions' inept performance, not monopoly!
Your observation is quite correct about Intel's lower profit margin in the past year. Would this trend continue? The Pentium world is about to evolve into something even more different, just like x486, x486, x286 before. Well, that is another chapter.
