Perhaps Motorola should buy out AMD and take on Intel ! ! ! I don't think so, because a pending announcement like that probably would have leaked. But you never know and AMD has to take some sort of significant action. I sold some of my INTC this morning. I'll buy it back after the AMD/MOT announcement. Dale

Bruce - Re: "Perhaps Motorola should buy out AMD and take on Intel ! ! !" Motorola already took on Intel with the 68000, 68010, 68020, 68030, 68040, 68060 and various PowerPC chips. Motorola lost. Motorola is now a customer of Intels - buying mobile Pentium II modules for embedded processor applications, Paul

Bruce, >>>"Perhaps Motorola should buy out AMD and take on Intel ! !" Maybe they should. Maybe they'll have better luck this time if they get close to Intel. Did you know that Motorola had: - a seventeen year headstart on Intel in semiconductors. - a decade headstart on Intel in integrated circuits. - the #1 position in the world for a while in semiconductors in the 1980's. They should give it a go again. It's getting boring with Intel at the top for so long now. Tony
