Jeff,>>>Read it if you have registered at their site. (aside - Yes you must register. I find this somewhat ironic. Its likely that the NYTimes would have demanded my PIII serial number if I had one).<<<

Get it straight. Intel is not the Evil Empire. They don't do Watergate. There's no stained dress. They are a manufacturer. They manufacture tools for people to use. For the most part they don't pass judgement on how people use this tool. People can use this tool any way they want - but for the most part it does more good than harm.

This situation is a bit like nuclear science and human cloning. Once the genie is out of the bag, there is not much you can do about it. You can't artificially suppress it - you have to live with it - and make the most out of it.

This situation is also a bit like prohibition. A few passive aggressive do gooders think they know what is good for society and try to impose their will on everybody else.

This controversy will pass just as the bug has passed. Perhaps more good will come out of it than the bad for Intel. There will be discussions on this subject in all the civics classes in America - lots of free publicity.

With the exception of a few goody two shoes, brown nosed, nerdies, most kids and most adults will likely get out of the civics lesson that Intel is a darn good company - with no evil intent.

Perhaps, the solution for Intel is as a previous poster had suggested, there is two versions of the PIII. PIII-ID (with) PIII-IX (without).

Regards,

Mary
