Yikes!! The Intel CC is got to be the longest one on the planet...I think every analyst from the western world was participating and they all loved Intel's earnings except D. Peck. I could not understand why it is taking Intel so long to convert to .18 technology....they said the migration over will be finished at the end of this year. Any comments as to why so long? OT BTW streaming audio has a way to go...like it but there is so much net congestion and occasionally a lost ISP connection. ted
