Intel Investors - Intel's New Colorado plant may be ready for startup as early as November, according to this article. "The semiconductor giant expects to employ 800 when it begins operations in November, and its work force at the plant could eventually reach 2,500. " As a reminder, this Fab has been scheduled as a Flash memory fab - not a CPU fab. However, it could reduce the Flash burden on Fab 11, potentially freeing up capacity for CPUs in early to mid 2001. Paul {==========================} September 02, 2000 04:18 Colorado Springs, Colo., Eateries Hope to Benefit from Firm’s New Plant Jump to first matched term By Wayne Heilman, The Gazette, Colorado Springs, Colo. Sep. 2--Intel Corp. won't begin making chips at its Garden of the Gods Road plant for another few months, but restaurants already are lining up to serve its workers. The semiconductor giant expects to employ 800 when it begins operations in November, and its work force at the plant could eventually reach 2,500. That means many more customers for restaurants such as Pasta di Solazzi, which recently moved from the Uintah Station shopping center on the city's westside to 4659 Centennial Blvd., less than a mile from the Intel plant at 1575 Garden of the Gods Road. "This offered us an opportunity to broaden our customer base and what we do to include dining," said Gregg Braha, co-owner of the 18-year-old market and restaurant. "We wanted to get the move done at least six weeks before Intel opened so we had a head start." Braha and co-owner Gina Solazzi are sinking more than $1 million into their new location, which is three times the size of the shop they left. Much of the space in the Italian market's new location is devoted to dining, including the entire mezzanine area. But Pasta di Solazzi isn't the only restaurant banking on waves of Intel employees as customers. The nearby Marigold Cafe is expanding, the former owner of the Mission Bell Inn has opened a new restaurant nearby and four chains are negotiating for sites in the area. John Gatto of Crestone Development, which owns land at Garden of the Gods Road and Centennial Boulevard, said construction will begin this fall on a Kentucky Fried Chicken-A&W Root Beer outlet. A Chipotle Mexican Grill also is planned on his property, and he is negotiating with another chain he declined to identify for a third site in the area. "We've had a lot of interest from restaurants in our site. We could probably sell all of the sites for restaurants if we wanted to go in that direction," Gatto said. "I suspect it is because the area has come of age. Intel really is just the crown jewel for the area." Cascabel's Cantina and Grill became the latest restaurant to open in Intel's shadow late last month. Glen Masias, who sold the Mission Bell Inn in Manitou Springs to his brother a year ago, said Intel wasn't the primary reason he selected a location at 4925 Centennial Blvd. "We want to try to catch some of the Intel business, as well as attract professionals from throughout this area," said Masias, who will manage Cascabel's. Northwest Colorado Springs is not only home to Intel's plant but to a major software development operation for WorldCom Inc., several operations for Agilent Technologies, Hewlett-Packard Co., LSI Logic Corp., Vitesse Semiconductor Corp. and other manufacturers. The restaurants also serve some of the city's higher-income neighborhoods, including the Mountain Shadows, Peregrine, Pinecliff and Rockrimmon neighborhoods

Paul, re: ``The Media Terminal enables full Internet access and push-type services over TV broadcast networks,'' Nokia said in a statement. ``(Its) features...include full, fast Internet access in the living room which provides for interactive digital services including home shopping and banking, as well as the possibility to pause and replay live broadcasts or split the screen between TV and Internet,'' it said. Consumers can also watch digital TV and record programs on an integrated hard disc, play network games, order video on demand, send and receive email, listen and store MP3 files, and connect printers, digital cameras or other devices, it said. A "Media Terminal". I want one. And I imagine many other folks might want one. John
