Tejerk - Re: "BTW what do your sources say about intc's earnings report tonite? " I keep close track of Intel's technology and products - and have less visibility on their financial side. Since Intel didn't preannounce anything, my guess is that they will meet analysts expectations of about 55 to 57 cents/share. Paul
