Scumbria, Do you think that semis will continue to boom even if the economy goes into a recession? I really don't know who all the ultimate consumers of these products are and what their vulnerability is. If someone is worried about their job, they aren't going to get a cell phone for their teenager. They won't buy a new car with all that flash memory or upgrade their PC. Companies will cut back on purchasing. This country hasn't had a recession since 1991. Maybe some of the older guys can extrapolate the impact on business back then in view of the changes that have taken place, but I sure can't. I'd actually pay Paul money to get his sincere advice issue, but I'm sure I don't have enough for that. BTW, I owe you a huge debt of gratitude. Even though this year has finally gone negative for me, I would hate to see where it would be if I hadn't bought AMD in late 1999 and I wouldn't have done that without the benefit of your insight on the Athlon. Regards, Jeff
