<<Who or what countervail slowdown in PC sector ? >>

The real question is (or should be) how deep is this "slow down"....heres my read...we have a poor Jan. on the back of a great Dec/Christmas season (that makes sense to me) and some push out on purchases waiting for the PIII (also makes sense and is consistent with past INTC new tech ramps)...thus this Q in PC land is no good...will it extend to next Q (and beyond) or will demand come back...how does Y2K play into the end of the year?...lots of questions...I guess my point is I'm not sure of the answers but I tend to believe this slowdown will be shorter in term than longer...I don't buy the "nuclear winter" call for the PC market at all...its still a little early for that... I wouldn't be surprised if we hear some of the "worst is behind us" "we're seeing a return to anticipated demand" boiler plate out of the Calendar Q1 conf calls.
