I guess I'd interpret it that Sharpy has effectively slipped to Q1. Since Clinton has brought "parsing"into such vogue, it's difficult to really figure out what people mean any more. In any case, I sent another email to Toni Beckham asking her to clarify. If I get a response, I'll let you know.

Does anyone know what production lead time normally is for the big OEM's (Compaq, IBM,e etc., excluding Dell and Gateway, which I assume have shorter leadtimes)? Is 89 days close to being realistic?

Scumbria <would interpret this as saying that Sharpy has slipped into Q2 98.> Which Sharpy has slipped, the 300MHz or the 400MHz?
There could be a big-big difference...

'1) Intro of Sharpy in LATE Q4 1998.
2) Appearance of Sharpy-based boxes on the shelves within 89 days
(production lead time).'

"I would interpret this as saying that Sharpy has slipped into Q2 98."

Worst case scenario- K6-3 is announced on Dec. 31. 89 days after that is March 30. That still makes it Q1 ;-)
