Paul, Intel Delays FW Plant Production - Slow Product Demand Pushes Start to 2000 - By Alan Goldstein Dallas Morning News, Friday, October 24, 1997. Intel Corp said Thursday it will postpone by a year the start of production at its plant under construction in Fort Worth, as the chipmaker scrambles to respond to shifting product demand. The massive $1.3 billion plant will begin making Intel's next-generation microprocessors for person computers - the successors to today's Pentium family of chips - in 2000 instead of 1999. The World's First Personal Digital Notebook - First Low-Cost, Full-Size Computing Device Beats Everyone to Market "SOMERSET, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 22, 1997--The latest salvo in the computing revolution has nothing to do with Microsoft(R), Apple(R) or even Pentium(R). GeoBook(M), the world's first Personal Digital Notebook, is arriving on store shelves this month and it is already raising a few eyebows. Why? It's designed to act and look like a notebook computer. GeoBook allows users to send addressbook, transfer PC files and more. GeoBook delivers all of the features users need from a addressbook, at the price of an organizer. "When people first take a look at the price tag, they think it's a mistake," says Dean F. Shulman at Brother International Corp. GeoBook is selling for astounding $599. For many people who can only dream of owning a notebook, the most used applications are word processing, spreadsheets, e-mail, addressbook and calender. Students, technical writers, salespeople and business executives need an easy-to-use product that delivers PC-like functionality minus the headaches normally associated with computing -- such as system crashes, IRQ and compatibility problems and built-in obsolsecence." - GeoBook(M) uses AMD's integrated ELAN chip set and onboard flash memory. brother.com Can you figure out: how much money AMD will make and how much money INTC will lose in the future? Take care of your INTC. Best wishes James
