BigBucks, Re: "When a corporation becomes to big to support itself due to high overhead costs then it has lost its efficiency and the shareholders suffer as their investment dwindles away over time." I also agree with this statement ... let's look at one particularly good metric for measuring productivity and efficiency of a company. The metric is revenue/employee/year. In fact, NSM has a slide/graph on their website with this metric: national.com Here's how the current CPU manufacturers stack up on this metric: Intel ............ $410,000/employee/year AMD ........... $175,000/employee/year NSM/CRYX . $200,000/employee/year (high estimate for '98) As even you can see, BigBucks, Intel is the most efficient and productive of these three companies. Why is it that you think that Intel has tremendous overhead?? Yes, Intel does have more employees ... but they also have much higher revenue. Make It So, Yousef
