Paul OT Washington week mentioned Clinton will have enough tax reductions (credits) to satisfy just about everyone.... Here is a url on parts of the proposed speech. newsday.com Health care long term coverage in home for relatives although on Washington week ,I think,they said it is fazed out on family income around $80,000. $10 billion over the next 5 years 1 billion plus to improve health coverage for those not coverage by insurance. Plans for coverage for those with disabilities who can't get coverage. plan (again) for 55 to 64 age group to purchase medicare. $112 billion increase for military (perhaps way over due however we sure could have closed some of the bases he visited last year... $84 million (what some si folks spend in a year..<g>) in civil rights spending. No explanation of where the money is coming from other than he will keep the budget in balance. I don't think this answers all tax questions as it was a broad statement from the news folks on washington week sat. night.

Intel Investors - HP To use Intel's new DIXON Integrated Pentium II + Integrated L2 Cache . This is the first disclosure of a major customer to be using the new "Dixon" CPU - a mobile Pentium II with on-chip 256 KiloBytes of L2 cache. You can bet there will be MORE announcements coming on or about January 25, 1999 ! Paul {=====================================} news.com HP jumps back into mini-notebooks By Michael Kanellos Staff Writer, CNET News.com January 18, 1999, 4:00 a.m. PT Hewlett-Packard will jump back into the mini-notebook market later this month when Intel releases new "integrated" Pentium II chips for notebooks. Hewlett-Packard today announced the OmniBook 900, a slim, 4-pound notebook that will take over the market niche once occupied by the defunct OmniBook 800. Starting at around $2,500, the OmniBook 900 will contain the most current Pentium II chips from Intel, according to HP. Intel is slated to released Pentium II chips for notebooks running at between 300 MHz and 366 MHz and containing 256KB of integrated cache memory on January 25, as well as the first Celeron chips for low-end notebooks. Although billed as a successor to the squat OmniBook 800, the OmniBook 900 seems to more acutely resemble a scaled-down version of a standard notebook, or even the magnesium-cased slimline notebooks, such as the Dell Latitude LT, that have been rolling out since late last year. The OmniBook 900 will come with a 12-inch screen and a full-size keyboard, said Wayne Wesley, an OmniBook product marketing manager. The machine's footprint, or base, is also similar in size to standard notebooks. The machine weighs about 4 pounds and measures 1.26 inches thick. "It looks like the OmniBook's 4100 little brother," he said. By contrast, the OmniBook 800 contained a 10-inch screen and a smaller-than-life-sized keyboard. Sub-notebooks such as the OmniBook 800 have sold well in Japan but have only enjoyed sporadic interest in the U.S. While the OmniBook 900 is similar in shape and size to the Dell Latitude and Sony Vaio 505, there are differences, pointed out Wesley. The OmniBook contains a Pentium II, while the other computers contain Pentium MMX chips. The OmniBook is also the only one that does not come in a magnesium case, and it weighs about a pound more. The OmniBook 900 will be targeted at mobile professionals. HP is considering, but still has not entered, the consumer notebook segment, he added. HP has not made a commitment to building notebooks based around the Celeron chip. However, he added: "HP follows Intel's road map."
