Benjamin, Why don't you tell someone there at Intel that all the diversification they are doing can only hurt their core business? If Intel got out of stupid things like networking, I'd put my life savings in Intel and shut up. Diversification can only mean distraction. I don't want to see Intel become an ugly conglomerate. Tell them to just make chips, research and improve chips, and use any cash overflows to buy back stock. Maybe things like the K7 wouldn't happen (Intel showing up late to the game) if they would concentrate on their one good thing. Your advice to IBM in the 80s would have been to stick with just mainframes? AT&T ought to stick to just phones. Microsoft to OSs and office suites only. HP to test equipment. TI to DRAMs. Maybe Xerox should have diversified back in the 70s? Tony
