<Let's see - YOU want the FTC to investigate Intel for charging TOO MUCH for their processors and SCUMBRIA wants Intel investigated by the FTC for charging TOO LITTLE for their processors.> On a somewhat non sequitur route, did you hear about what the producers of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace are requiring movie theaters to do? 1) They must keep showing Star Wars at least eight weeks after its release. 2) They can't show more than eight minutes of trailers. 3) They can't accept free passes to Star Wars for the first eight weeks. 4) They must feature Star Wars on their biggest movie screens. Wow, and George Lucas and the other producers made no attempt to be subtle, either. If Intel made similar requirements to the OEM's (maybe they are already?), the FTC, DOJ, BBB, and CNBC would have a cow. Tenchusatsu
