no, not really. We get paid in options. That's why we like the share buy-back.

JP. Re: "stock messageboard/forum trolls"> Could be. I got tired of trying to follow Intel's internal names. add some cache, new name. Add a spinner, new name. Move the focus from SI to IHUB, new name. Too much for me. Re: because the performance is better, and because the performance is better, people put more I/O (input-output components such as network cards) and more memory and other things on them. LOL. Our boxes were always I/O bound. It seemed to me, at the time, 5 years ago, that the infrastructure group added I/o to get the CPU utilization up to around 50% on a normal running basis. Much more than that and it could get hard to kill the runaway processes... Oracle/X86/MS/HP. You got them all together and they pointed around in a circle saying "It's their problem, not ours." -tgp
