Paul and other Intel investors:

Andy Grove paid a visit to our little site today and had a Q&A with the employees. He was very upbeat.

He mentioned one thing that surprised me, though. Somebody asked a question about new technologies, specifically about Intel going to copper at some point. (Sorry, I'm not an architecture or process guy, so I don't recall the details.)

I thought using copper in chips was a dead issue with Intel, but Andy specifically said it was "in the Intel roadmap." Does anyone know anything about this, or was he talking in the abstract? I don't remember any upcoming Intel product that is slated to use this technology.

Thanks,

Badger

Re: "since keyboard text entry for Japanese, Mandarin, etc is still very cumbersome"

My wife is Japanese and frequently uses a Japanese language word processor on our dual boot system. She has no problem with it and can type very quickly using our English language keyboard.
