Paul, Intel ADS

Mom and Dad are the ones who pay for these computers, not the kids.

Big ticket items like this need my approval, not my 14 year old's.

I think 99% of the audience knows nothing about how a chip is made, how fantastic the technology is. Why not try to educate them in an entertaining way? I'm a public school teacher, that's all we do all day is keep them entertained. gg :o)

The boomers are slightly more educated them we think. Wow them with technology, show them how sophisticated these chips are and how intel is preparing for the future and that as a customer you NEED this technology. And most importantly, you NEED to keep coming back to intel as a loyal customer. Just like they do in the auto industry. They try to build loyalty. When people buy a car they want to know what is under the hood so to speak.

Intel has to pull out all the stops and show the public there is no alternative to their product, I saw nothing in CompUSA about AMD, etc.
People need a compelling reason to keep spending big bucks on these items. Just to play video games is not good enough in the long term.

Peace,

Dennis
