OFF TOPIC (Intel) Skeeter, >>>tony, for time immemorial the price cuts haven't hurt intel's earnings. they will
earn less in 1998 than in 1996.<<<

1998 is over!

1996 > 1998? I don't think so Tim. You meant 1997? OK, but note the "pauses" in '89 and '94. Only makes 'em scream all the more in the next year. You are talking about one pissed off gorilla. Viva la 1999!

you don't lower prices to earn less money unless you have to. on anything

Not so in technology. Chips have a terminal value and their value will be lessened over time, so price reductions are not mutually exclusive with prifits in the tech sector.
