Shane, I agree that an earnings warning out of Intel would be the straw that breaks the camel's back. About the delay in Merced, FWIW, an Intel spokesman finally came out because he didn't like the way some of the speculation was going. Naturally, he saw it my way, gg, (actually, I believed CEO Barrett, but a lot of Intellites didn't):

Rich, this theory is going down the wrong path. Craig Barrett is correct and Tony V. and Paul E. both touch on simialr themes of process complexity, program management and interdependencies. Stay on that course.
Manufacturing/Production is not an issue. Architecture is not an issue.
Let's all be rational on this subject, there's nothing here that belongs in a good suspense novel. Its not easy work, but Intel will get it done.
Regards, jh Again, FWIW, a scheduling problem is better news than an architectural, or technology or manufacturing problem.
Is LSI poised for another leg up on it's sawtooth waveform chart?
