Niceguy, There are non-taxes on AMD profits since AMD has tax-loss carryforwards as far as the eye can see. Intel, of course, pays about 33% of its profits in taxes. So are you saying that if AMD earns $3.00 per share or thereabouts for Y2000 that would surpass Intel or are you saying that after AMD earns $4.50 per share (since that's what it would have to earn pretax to get to $3.00 per share post tax if it were a continually profitable company) that would be the criterion for surpassing Intel. Just curious. Burt
