<If it still is -- we are getting ready for a "tech wreck." Asia is certainly part of it. PC business has changed fundamentally though. The tirelessly shortening upgrade cycle type growth is finally dead.> True. Without new "killer apps" there is no real need for more power for the average user. The killer app candidates presented at the stockholder's meeting did not convince me. Also, remember the Pentium bug and how initially Intel wanted customers to prove the math errors would affect their work? - even the initial Pentiums provided more power than most people were using.
