Out of synch with you again Mary. I think Bryant lives, eats and breathes his job at Intel. He was on each question yesterday like white on rice, very believable tone, etc., etc. I think he would be missed as much as anyone in upper management if he were to leave. Did you listen to the CC? Tony

Hi Mary, RE: "I nominate Ashok Kumar to be the next Intel CFO. He is well qualified. ...He can articulate Intel's business better than anyone at Intel. He could further provide better guidance and manage expectations wrt the investment community." ------------------------------------------------ Articulating Intel's business doesn't equate to having operations or management skills. I'm not implying anything negative about Kumar's skills, but am implying something positive about Bryant. RE: "we should always have at the top of the Intel organization someone who has an engineering background who can articulate the technical vision. But we should have as, perhaps, a vice CEO who is more of a salesman-like Carly Fiorini, Lou Gerstner, or Tim Koogle type. We should, never, however, allow a salesman type talk his/her way into the top spot - as Apple once did with John Skully, or Compaq did with Eckhardt Pfeiffer." I didn't understand this because you were talking about the CFO, but then typed CEO. Nonetheless, if you meant CEO (or CFO), I'd have to disagree with you. Barrett's an excellent, hard-working CEO that is focused on the long-term (not ST). Regards, Amy J
