Amy, re: Maybe not, if they have a low-cost way of achieving the same result over time. I'm know very little about mergers and acquisition strategy. But it's obvious that Intel's direction has been a complete failure. You can sift through the ashes and find a few minor successes, but ultimately you are left with $12 billion in investments that has lost an additional ~$6 billion since 3Q99, two years. Lost $1.2 billion in 2Q, and the trend is towards higher losses. That $18 billion that is gone might have bought something that added a few bucks to the bottom line. John
