Wayne, there is absolutely no question that if the 1 Ghz machines and the Rambus boxes sell, they will have to be sold at high prices. And that is where the MU's of the world make money those few quarters where they make money. The problem is getting folks to pay up for a box that runs their software more slowly. It's happened before, but I don't think it is that type of environment now.

",,,Buried deep in a footnote in the CPI report, under a section about seasonal adjustments, is this statement: "Effective with the calculation of the seasonal factors for 1990, the BLS has used an enhanced seasonal adjustment procedure called Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment for the CPI series ...Ï.
