Joe - Intel numbers " What I am wondering about is how the one time charges will be figured into the results. " If they come, they will also show numbers without at which the market MAINLY will look. " What I am wondering about is how the one time charges will be figured into the results. " I assume again here some numbers with and without the write- down if this will be a case. " I think Intel will not report negative EPS. " Me too. When I read the latest market comments, I'm not sure, that Desktop is that weak - it will come inline for Intel too this quarter. Server could be tricky for them, but not a big number miss. The real question will be notebooks. They have a huge share overall and ALL comments point to weak Notebook sales because inventory is high. When you ask me, Intel has hoped for higher units, so I think they will miss here - how high is the question. If notebook is OK, they reach their low-end at around 8B., but if Notebook is really that weak, I assume more a 7,6-7,9B number. The question is, will they warn prior to the CC, if they recognize that they will be 200Mio. or so short? BUGGI

Joe, re: What I am wondering about is how the one time charges will be figured into the results. Not sure if you're referring to the contest or how each company will report. As for the contest, our results will be based on whatever each company reports for EPS including any one-time charges/gains. We used to try to do a pro forma EPS and factor out any one-time charges but it got to be a little too subjective, so we just decided to go with whatever number they actually report in black and white on their Consolidated Statement of Operations under Net income (loss) per common share (Diluted). Makes it a little more of a lottery category, but there is no disputing what EPS number to plug into the contest spreadsheet. Regards, JJ
