To: Stanley L Brown (93 ) From: Haik Novshadian Wednesday, Oct 29 1997 12:00PM EST Reply #94 of 94 Guys don't use E*TRADE. All of my stocks got sold without my authorization yesterday morning INTC, MSFT, BAY, LCI,CUBE,SUNW. THe funny part was I bought them a day before around 3:20 pm right before they closed the market. I lost about 27k because of that. THis is the 3rd time they screw my account. I was stupid that I did not close my account early. They trying to make me belive that I made those transactions. Any suggestion ? Anybody else had problems with them? go with E-Schwab, never had problem with them Haik

Supposedly, all of the major Notebook mfgrs have large inventories of notebooks with older cpu's that they want to unload before moving to the Tillamook based products.

John - Re: " why this introduction seems to be taking so long to reach the market on a significant basis?" If you recall, Intel sold about 20,000,000+ CPUs in the third quarter. Only Intel was selling x86 devices for the notebook market. Consequently, the notebook manufacturers were well stocked with 166 MHz Pentium MMX devices and slower ones. When the 200/233 MHZ Tillamook was announced in September, the PC stores and major manufacturers had a pipeline full of the older product and were definitiley trying to clear this out before flooding the market with the new chips. For example, at the start of summer, Compaq was selling a Presario 1080 (my first choice) 166 MHz Pentium MMX notebook for $4699. I watched its price decline on an almost weekly basis. It is now being offered at $2999! Another factor is power supply and motherboards. The new Tillamook chip requires a lower voltage (1.8 volts) and some modest changeover may have been required to get these into production. The good news is that I saw my first 200 MHz Compaq - a Presario 1680 - at the T-Zone and Fry's this past week end - for $4199. it is also listed in a mail order catalog (Tiger Direct) that I get.
