Scumbria - Re: "Your belief that the competition is going to go away, is based on wishful thinking and fantasy. It isn't going to happen." I have no misconception that competition is going away from Intel. You, Scumbria, have a myopic view of how Intel has fared against the competition. Your own investment disasters - betting on Cyrix/NSM, IDT and AMD to topple Intel - should prove to yourself that Intel is one smart company. Instead, you cling to the belief that Cyrix and IDT and AMD - with mounting losses, quarter after quarter - are somehow going to leapfrog Intel in technology capability, manufacturing prowess, and marketing smartness. Then you toss out names of new companies that have only leaked tidbits to a gullible medai press about "Intel Killer Chips" - and you expect these companies to go from zero to the speed of light and topple Intel - ignoring the fact that established companies - AMD, SGI, Cyrix, etc., have all tried and failed. Remember Exponential Technology? Remember IMES ? Remember ULSI ? Remember IIT? Start remembering. You made your bets, Scumbria. You lost three times over. Now you're just praying for a magic bullet to come out of the woodwork and nail Intel in its heart. That, Scumbria, is just a misguided prayer. Your losses, betting against Intel, have completely clouded your judgement (assuming you ever had any). Paul
