greg - Re: " If Intel did the same you would be dead." Operative word: IF. But Intel doesn't need to execute the management. During a quarter where Intel dramatically reduced their CPU prices, aggressively pursued the sub $1000 PC market, and the S.E. Asia financial crisis wrecked havoc with their foreign sales, Intel's management performed the following: Grew Revenued by $300,000,000 quarter to quarter Increased EARNINGS by $200,000,000 to $1.7 BILLION (Quarter to Quarter) Increased MARKET SHARE Increased yields and volumes to reduce costs Ramped Pentium II production to 25% of CPU shipments Began 0.25 micron Production in TWO ADDITIONAL FABS (Total now = 3) Began 0.25 micron Pentium II (Deschutes) production. Increased CASH position to $11 Billion. Released major support for MERCED from customers AND competitors. All in all - a spectacular performance. Paul
