Technology Stocks : Intel Corporation (INTC) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Barry,

As I said, Intel's customer's are not being illegally coerced to take Intel's money. They can always turn it down.

Let's call this amount R (as in ransome). And let's call the price of the chip P. A boxmaker has 2 options:

1. Pay the price of the chip P + ransom R, run Intel commercial and get ransom R back

or

2. Pay the price of the chip P + ransom R, run their own commercial.

You see the difference? Price of running your own commercials is the amount R. If a CEO of a boxmaker wants to run his company, he has to pay a ransom to Intel. If a boxmaker is content with Intel running his company, he doesn't have to pay the ransom.

Joe

Barry - Re: "I guess this really bothers you but I don't hear the customers complaining about taking the money."

What bothers Joe is that Cyrix has continued to lose money and he needs an excuse to justify their losses - and his losses in Cyrix/NSm stock.

This is his "I'm just a victim" modus operandi. "Somebody else is responsible for my problems - not me!"

Paul
