bug - Re: " i'm still interested in your analysis of how y2k will impact computer sales and, therefore, intel." Intel and possibly AMD are pumping out CPUs with production lines maxed out. My guess is that a good fraction of this is for systems to replace old and outdated PCs/Servers that may have Year 2000 problems. My guess is that this will accelerate in Q2 and Q3 of next year - before panic sets in. The panic may possibly be irrational purchases - as much as irrational restraint from new system purchases. Many corporate people operate on the principle - "When in doubt, throw money at the problem". Paul
