No Celerons? Doesn't sound like it. Jim

Ibexx, OK, that's it, as of tomorrow, I will have only one computer in my office at work. All files and mail have been transferred over the net from my old 486 to the new PII. All bookmarks have been transferred from my Sun workstation to the new computer. I used the Sun for Internet browsing because it had a big monitor. Now, I can get rid of two at once! Turns out I have a customer for the 486...a couple of engineers who share an office and have no PC. Before you feel too sorry for them, they work mostly on database stuff that runs on the mainframe. Problem is they couldn't do attachments to email with their Sun Workstations they use as front ends. So, they are grateful for the 486. The Sun workstation will go to scrap parts...maybe the monitor can be reused. So, just based on this small experience, that is, however, being repeated everywhere, which stock would you buy, Sun or Intel. DUH. Ibexx, I know I'm preaching to the choir in your case. Regards, Tony

Ibexx, Paul and thread, I met my AMD friend last night and had a chance to ask when he thought they might make any money. He thinks there's a chance in 3Q98. I asked him how and he answered that they've solved the .25 micron problems. Before the .35 problems have been fixed?. Yes... So I said that that might help, but prices will continue to go down every quarter as they have in the past so how does he think making money becomes possible. His answer: He thinks they might make 12.5 million good chips in the next year. We'll see... In the meantime, I asked how they are going to fund the big upcoming payment. He can't wait to hear that for himself at the upcoming bd meeting. He's still hoping for the Big Blue Lone Ranger to rescue them from their predicament. He really likes this idea it seems. FWIW. Barry
