But then I suppose this making AMD go up is now weirder then AMD going down in the past on bad news specifically for Intel. If it helps ignite a general rally it could certainly help. Tim, yes..if it sparks a rally, its a good thing....and you don't have to be quite so literal. ;~)) Frankly, its startling to see how green things have become in AH.....SCMR is up almost $2, EMC is up $3, ORCL up a dollar; BEAS is up 1.30, BRCD up a buck, Dell is 1.30...etc. ted

Tim, Remember what the world was like under Clinton? This article came out 4 weeks before the "election". Chip Market Remains Robust (10/03/00, 8:51 p.m. ET) By , Semiconductor Business News Despite some dark clouds on the PC industry's horizon, the worldwide semiconductor market grew by a record 52.7 percent for the month of August, according to figures released Tuesday by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA). Citing strong growth in the communications sectors as well as the Asia-Pacific markets, worldwide sales of semiconductors were $18.2 billion in August, compared to $11.9 billion in the like period a year ago, according to the SIA, San Jose, Calif.

Scalise also remained bullish for the remainder of this year. "We are confident the industry will reach our forecast of 31 percent growth for 2000 once we tally sales for the final months of this year," he added. The increase in semiconductor sales was apparent in all geographical regions. The Asia-Pacific and Japanese markets grew 60.2 percent and 53.7 percent, respectively, over last year, the SIA said. The Americas market was up 50.3 percent from last year, and Europe's sales grew 46.4 percent, they added. Scumbria
