John, Thanks for the lookup. Could anything so simple be made more difficult and convoluted than that definition of Goodwill? It sounds like a 'Introduction to' book. Gave me a flashback to the '60s. Re: <If Intel did the same, their GAAP loses would be huge and I don't expect investors would give such a high value to the stock.> I'm inclined to think INTC should go ahead and take some quick write-offs (in their year end financials if not to their quarterly stockholder report). A lot of that stuff they bought was Internet Infrastructure and enabling technology companies that just isn't worth, today, what they paid for them. And I think Wall street knows it. That's the end of 'Goodwill Posting' for me. tgptndr
