ng, As you know there are people who are non-tech types and when they ask what to buy they are sold the highest margin stuff the retailer has to sell. Little real attention is paid to the best value for the client. The advertising from Intel helps in this regard as it appears like a valid comment from someone else that is not automatically discounted by the client. Even now people still call computers "IBM clones", yet IBM lost the leadership flag a decade or more ago and now follows the pack, being content to lead in assorted tech areas, like hard drives. It took a few years for IBM to fall by the wayside and so it is with intel. Intel is slowly falling by the wayside. No matter what they do their share falls. IBM friends with the same dinosaur mindset flocked to the proprietary microchannel as they believed that all the worlds a stage for all the sheep to baaaa on. Events proved them wrong and most of those companies died or were humbled by enormous losses. Now will Intel be able to take the market to P-4 hell or will it fall by the wayside and it's handmaiden Dell become a shrivelled crone? Bill
