Burt, just thought of this (dumb question): do you know if moving a security to the DOW requires said company's approval? Tony

Burt, re: "adds to the universe of prospective buyers and holders of Intel" In my case today changes my portfolio from zero DOW stocks to two DOW stocks. Seriously, there is some esteem involved in a company being part of the DOW. Some retired folks and overseas investors probably feel more comfortable with the companies in the DOW. I suspect that over time you might see a little less volitility. I wonder if the media (especially the WSJ, owned by Dow Jones and Company) will treat Intel with more respect? Also, it probably irritates the heck out of the AMD cult followers that love to hate Intel. So, all in all, I think very good news. John
