Ted, While you are at it, why don't you discuss how the city of Santa Monica, a public entity, took a moribund shopping street with a vacancy rate of over 30% and through creative planning turned it into a major revenue producer for the city with some of the highest rental rates in the country. A great example of pushing more and more government projects to the state and local levels? No, it was an example of an innovative city gov't that felt they knew how to revive a moribund street. If you've been to SM, you've seen it........the third street mall. Ten years ago, you could roll a bowling ball down third street and hit no one. Today, its a shopping mecca whose success is spilling over to other streets in downtown SM. And then discuss how INTC spent billions for years on a chip in which they will never recoup their expenses. Hey, I resemble that remark! Resemble or resent? <g> But that's just the nature of the free market. Intel is spending the rewards of its past successes on future product ideas. Yes, but that particular chip did not do well and a lot of money was wasted on it. It was last called the titanium. I can't remember its original name. Is it still in production? Not all of them may pan out, but at least Intel is better off spending that money than, say, AMD or Cyrix. Or the federal government for that matter. ;-) I am not sure that that's correct......at least when it comes to AMD or NSM. INTC has some built in advantages because it is has such a huge portion of market share in its primary industries. If those advantages were taken away, I am not sure that INTC is the most effective company at coming up with innovative products. However, I don't expect you to side against INTC. ;~)) ted
