This is my favorite double-speak...why can't he just say things suck, and be done with it:

"This is the biggest slowdown that the industry has ever seen," Barrett declared during the Web cast

But fear not because moments later he assures us that,

"The current turbulence that we're seeing today are not that different than we've seen before."

<<During a Web cast event today, Barrett indicated the current semiconductor downturn is two times worse than that of 1985--which, until now, was considered the IC industry's worst year.>>

Heh heh, quicky question for thread...what was INTC's trailing PE and trailing PS at the bottom of the downturn in 1985? And what are they now?

Delicious and nutritious food for thought!<G>

Excuse me? Aren't these two satatements mutually exclusive?
