Congrads on the your earnings estimates. Despite fierce competition with Intel on low end desktops, how much revenue do you expect AMD to generate from any entirely new platform for the K-6, the laptop? I've seen many adds recently promoting Compaq laptop with a K-6 at affordable prices. There are millions of people with older PCs at home that want to upgrade, and now might chose a laptop with an AMD processor -- something they would have never considered before when quality laptops cost around $3,000. I also believe introducing processors for laptop gives AMD greater credibility with desktop consumers. It shows the company is competing across the entire consumer computer spectrum with Intel. At a minimum, it certainly adds to AMD's visibility to have almost full page ads highlighting computers that are using AMD chips.
