Just called the offices of Dewey, Cheatem & Howe to inquire on suing Intel and their recording says "If you are suing Intel press 1".

Barry Re "Restructuring" I meant along more conventional lines, i.e. company not growing? - reduce costs to improve the bottom line. One thing I dread to think about is that much of the stellar performance in late 96(?) was because of the wholesale upgrade from the 486 to the Pentium - there is now no such massive upgrade in the next 2-3 years IMO. I agree there may still be places running 486s but relying on them to produce a big earnings surprise is probably wrong. So what I am wondering is the following: since the comapny already has 90% market share and ASPs are dropping - the only way to increase profits is to reduce costs. Sooner or later they have to do it - why not now?
