Paul, re: "By the way - are you afraid of a little marketing?"
You really are something else, at times. ;-)
As you well know from our private e-mails, I've spent a lot of time in sales and marketing. So, no, I'm not afraid of a little marketing.
My statement that I assumed Intel was somehow involved in the CompUSA promo meant that I thought Intel was part of this "marketing" campaign, which is certainly fine.
My question to the thread was simply, (paraphrasing), does anyone think this is an indicator that Celeron is meeting low acceptance? So far all of the responders think no. I don't know the answer. You, of course, will think that I think I do. I also stated I thought maybe CompUSA was using the Win98 intro to unload slow moving inventory.
No hidden meaning there, it's a pretty clear statement.
You didn't respond to the query, other than to ask "was I afraid of a little marketing."
I'm not the Intel fanatic you appear to be, just trying to figure out if I should sell or buy more.
BTW, you should love the Mike Murphy article referenced above. He has Intel going to $120 next year. Isn't he the guy you derided some time back? I'm sure you agree he's brilliant now. ;-) |
