TTOSBT, Intel already has an aggressive buyback program in place. Surely, as a shareholder who has done their due diligence you know this?? FF

TTOSBT: Why spend $2 billion to hype a stock? Don't you think that INTC management should deploy funds to enhance shareholder value by growing earnings first and foremost? Look what's happened so far: 80%+ market share financially strapped rivals $10 billion in cash one of the best brands in ANY industry. strategic investments in MANY. So far, so good.

TTOSTBT,>>>This paranoid caution from the top has ran it's course. Intel better wake up and start making some real meaningful changes. Policy changes! Instead of running the same old, I'm faster then everyone else race. <<< It's almost like in football when they go into a prevent defense. The only thing a prevent defense does is prevent you from winning. Intel is so afraid of getting into lower margin businesses, they limit their ability to grow revenues in a meaningful way. In contrast, Microsoft is not afraid to get into a business even if they have to give away their product for free (i.e., MS Explorer). 'tis better to have loved and lost, rather than never to have loved at all. C'mon guys, I'm not saying bet the ranch - Merced is a no brainer and investing in little start-ups is no big deal either. Strike while the iron is hot. Getting into coms (bandwidth) could be pretty exciting, no? Buyout Ascend, Westel, or one of the baby bells - live a little. Or more seriously build an advanced fibre optic network using IP technology on a global scale. Connect those billion connected PC's. Don't wait for the telephone companies to do it - they will never get it done. Regards, Mary
