Paul, You paint a bleak picture without providing any material information to dispute two main points in Intel's guidance to analysts.

1. Intel will maintain GPM at about 50%.
2. Business will improve 2H98.

If you know something materially relevant then you need to put Intel managments feet to the fire - to come clean. otherwise, you would just have to go with their guidance.

You paint a bleak picture with words about two competitors fighting for their lives and outsourcing production (at what has to be a higher cost) - because they can't compete on their own - causing a catastrophic scenario. In the meantime Intel is accellerating the lowering cost of the production of the PII processor and improvements in feeds and speeds - not to mention their slot I strategy that could obselete the competitions products once and for all. I won't mention Merced and what that is going to mean.

Is it that simple? Could I ramp up a Coke clone and increase production to 50% of cokes (or outsource it to RC Cola) and give it away and I will capture 50% of Cokes market share?
