AR, MSFT is so strong that it can only be attacked by the govt. and by puts in my pizzazz portfolio. Cisco is a good co., but soon to find Lucent's footprints at every co. where they make a proposal. That is going to hurt margins for Cisco. And for Lucent. Lord, I love the smell of napalm in the morning. <G>

Dell is finished, IMHO. It will have another 9 months of using debt to boost its eps before it has to confess that it is a mortal co.

Intel is the most vulnerable, IMHO. The others can try for market share gains when their market's growth slows. Intel has 80%, so there isn't much upside there. The greatest potential is for downside. Alpha is attacking topside. Silicon Graphics has a much better chip. AMD, Integrated and Cyrix are hanging tough on the low end. The great sales Y2K will generate is a crock. The pc market turns negative in unit growth sometime next year, and that is the end of the Intel game.
