Bill: No need to get hot under the collar!<g> I'm talking about the quality of a company, not valuation of a stock. I don't disagree with you about CPU's stock. But judging by a few surly employees is not ridiculous. (you take that back now, it hurt my feelings) While clearly my sampling techniques leave much to be desired, a company's quality is much reflected in the attitudes of employees, IMO. Peter (and I shall leave it at that)

Bill, the recent CPU talks reminds me bits of McDonalds. McD makes money though the do have the worst paid and worst acting personnel you can imagine. Financial success and behaviour of the personnel need not to be correlated as long as the product is being sold. From what I know from chain stores in Europe, the situation is not very different. You have chains selling the complete pentium bundle at $1500 and special retailers with the high-end version at $4000. The Joe-Sixpack goes to the chain-store, regardless how bad the customer support is. As long 9 out of 10 machines are up and running the folks are happy. Do you have an intermediate target for CPU yet? You once talked of 20 for CPU, though it seems that there is much resistance at 15. C.
