Michelle: They are about to be delisted but not yet? I heard K-Tel is appealing the decision and asking for some time to comply with the requirements.I don't know the details, I only heard it last night on NBR and I did not investigate it fully. Why, don't tell me you own the stock.

DELL will be the #1 notebook vendor as well as the #1 desktop vendor SOON. They just need to keep placing those factories on line, and people will buy their products. Fez _______________________________ Wednesday November 18 12:14 PM ET Celeron-based notebooks may start as low as $1,299 PC Week By John G. Spooner, ZDNet LAS VEGAS -- Notebooks early next year are going to have Celeron inside. Here at the Comdex/Fall trade show, a number of OEMs are letting customers in on plans to launch new, low-priced notebooks based on the forthcoming mobile version of Intel Corp.'s Celeron processor. Despite some early trepidation caused by the lackluster performance of cacheless desktop Celerons, several OEMs will jump on the mobile Celeron bandwagon. They plan to ship notebooks based on 266MHz or 300MHz versions of the processor, which will include 128KB of integrated L2 cache, sources said. Previously, Intel's road map showed 233MHz and 266MHz versions of the chip being first out the door. Intel (Nasdaq:INTC) is looking to the new processors, due in the first quarter, to help increase the number of notebook through lower prices. Although Bob Jecmen, vice president and general manager of Intel's mobile and handheld products group, wouldn't get into specifics, he acknowledged the Santa Clara, Calif., company is developing mobile Celeron processors, along with a low-cost chip set, which it expects will help OEMs expand the notebook market to new users. "We recognize there is a range of users, usage models and budgets out there," he said. Where 15 to 20 percent of the PC market is made up of notebooks today, Jecmen said he'd like to see that increase to 30 percent in the near future. Future Celeron plans Celeron notebooks, according to sources, may start as low as $1,299. However, the sweet spot for many Celeron systems will more likely be between $1,499 and $1,799. For $1,499 or less, users will likely find notebooks equipped with a 266MHz Celeron and a 12.1-inch display. But for $1,799, users will be able to buy a notebook with a 300MHz Celeron and 13.3-inch display, sources said. According to sources, manufacturers planning Celeron-based notebooks include Dell Computer Corp., which will offer the processors under its Inspiron line; NEC Computer Systems Division, which recently launched a value line called Versa Note, and is planning at least one Celeron model in the line starting around $1,499; and Gateway Inc. Another vendor, Transmonde Technologies Inc., of Cerritos, Calif., is showing a new notebook at the show called the Vibrant XLE, which will also offer the Celeron. The Vibrant will be available with a choice of 266MHz or 300MHz processor and 12.1- or 13.3-inch screen in early 1999 at prices starting at $1,299, company officials said.
