Teri - The prices for those chips, [microprocessors] have been steadily falling and the shrink alone increases their capacity by approx. 33%.

STOP DOING THAT! The capacity in terms of microprocessors produced does NOT go up with each shrink. We've had this discussion before. The shrinks allow them to produce more processors only if the capability of the processors remains the same. This is manifestly not so with Intel in the last year - they have moved from P-MMX to P-II.
