A couple of you have indicated that I should be careful because I might get assigned BEFORE expiration. Is there anyway I can get assigned if the option remains out of the money for the entire period that I own it? Say for example it was in the money one month ago, then it goes out of the money when I write it and it stays out of the money until expiration. Is there anyway I could get assigned under that scenario? I believe the answer is no but you all got me thinking so I am just looking for confirmation. thanks for the help,

sce, A 'droid would answer a,b, and c. Seriously, I was surprised. I would expect the consumer market to be 80%+ desktop. John

semiconeng, Re : "Ohhh Nooo Nooo Nooo, can't be. Why only recently, an AMDroid told me that laptops were only 5-20% of the market, and only an Intel fan would hope for 20%, so I "just don't see" how any seller could be saying 33.33%" You are stretching one data point way too far. Based on what Paul O said in november webcast, Intel's laptop sale will fall in the 5%-20% range. He said Intel expects to reach 25% (laptop of overall market) by year 2005 and assuming that laptop Y2Y growth will be (a lot) higher than desktop. So, working backwards, 5-20% range of laptop percentage is accurate. My guess would be about 10-12%. check out slide 49 of presentation (Nov 1, 2000)at event.mediaondemand.com Maui.
