ted,

re:"iNtEL"

The intel employees cannot tell you the true story ted, can they?

The "Demand is high, ramp is fine" is a true statement.

What do you think the chances are that they could say:" yes, we really
are having problems, but I think they got it fixed now though."
As much of a chance as a snowball somewhere.

iNtEL was making x number of chips. Then they had to start "ramping"
floppermines, losing previous production. Obviously during a ramp, the
quantity of floppermines would not equal previous P3 quantities at first.

Intel has changed their launch rules, and Gateway and DELL got screwed.

But something is wrong if DELL did not get the "high end" he wanted.
Obviously the grey market and outside the US didn't.

Taco DELL may have gotten them!
