Fortunately for Intel shareholders, Intel has outperformed the Nasdaq by 2,000 basis points in 2001, not 20.

Hi GV, "basis points " Meant to say, points, not bp. I was thinking points, but had just read an article on interest rates (basis points.) Gas prices have taken a bit of a dive in the past few weeks. The B2B economy looks better. You can tell in small ways. Overall, co's in the valley seem to have shifted gears from shedding -to- what project is next to work on? But who knows if this is a real indicator because the economy seems to operate in distinct phases, as if all the CEO's are acting lock-step, in-kind. For example, in one week not too long ago, our initial target market (that's been really good during the recession) just had massive layoffs (this was the market that I figured would be the last hit in the recession, which it was.) But then, the other target market we have (that I put on hold for a year) that was the first to get hit in the recession started clearing up and showing good action. But even the former market is doing well - once you get past the layoffs and find out who the new decision maker is - one account shows that my bottom-up estimate of the largest possible account opportunity was off by a factor of 10. I can live with that kind of error. I'm behind on pm/mail these days. Regards, Amy J
