Jim, Re: "Hasn't Intel indeed opened a testing and packaging facility in bordering Costa Rica? Do you think they would have done this with an unstable Nicaragua next door? Yet, you invest in Intel and reap the profits in part do (sic) to the responsible actions of the Reagan adminisrtation(sic)? Are you a hypocrite, man?!!!! " BAH! No hypocrite I!!! Hey, didn't you benefit from the street reacting positively to this november's election lessening the chances for Clinton's ouster? This "ends justifies the means" argument cuts like a dual edged razor, in either direction! Clinton needed to lie (mislead) in the Paula Jones deposition so that the republicans would overreact so that the demos would retake some seats so that he wouldn't get booted so that he could spend the budget surplus on INTC!!! RAH RAH RAH!!!! Sincerely, Chris

Sixteen and a half years into perhaps the greatest bull market of all time and the president announces that surpluses - generated in part by capital gains from this bull market [$250 billion in 1996] – will be recycled back into the stock market. Is this the greatest Ponzi scheme of all time, or what? Is the president, in all his madness, saying that we can pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and fund our retirement with this deception? One more question. Who is going to make the decision in which companies the Government of the United States of America invests? Talk about a colossal conflict of interest! Will tax dollars be invested in tobacco companies, which in turn will pay huge rewards to the states for tobacco damage claims? Will investment in Microsoft be permitted with the Justice Department barking at their heels? How about federally regulated banks or airlines or railroads? For that matter, name me one company that is not influenced by the government? Sounds like just another lame attempt by government to get their hands in the private sector. -Robert

Intel Investors * PC Owners - Intel's Home Networking Launch is set for this spring. Intel will start selling both the hardware and software to connect multiple PCs within a home environment using existing telephone wiring as the transmission/interconnect medium. This is the culmination of their efforts over the past year with their TUT license, chip development and software development. Let's hope it's a BIG success ! Paul {=================================} biz.yahoo.com Wednesday January 20, 1:03 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release Intel Technical Bulletin INTEL TO DELIVER CONSUMER HOME NETWORKING PRODUCTS HILLSBORO, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 20, 1999-- Products Designed To Meet Performance, Ease-Of-Use and Affordability Needs of U.S. Households Intel Corporation announced plans today at the Yankee Group Networked Home Symposium to offer consumers simple, high-speed, phoneline-based home networking products this spring. These products will allow U.S. households with two or more personal computers to link their home PCs using existing telephone wiring. Households will be able to easily connect their home computers together, allowing them to simultaneously share Internet access, printers, documents, and play multi-user computer games. Intel's products will be based on the industry specification developed by the Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HomePNA) to ensure compatibility with other home networking products. They will operate at one megabit-per-second (Mbps) -- almost 20 times faster than today's 56-Kbps modems, offering ample performance for today's consumer applications. ''After two years of extensive research and testing, we've developed a product that will revolutionize home computing,'' said Dan Sweeney, general manager of Intel's Home Networking Operation. ''Based on feedback from over 2,000 consumers, Intel will deliver a solution that contains both the hardware and software necessary to deliver a simple, powerful home network that meets the demands of today's multi-PC households.'' Boyd Peterson, director of the Consumer Market Convergence Research Practice at the Yankee Group, agrees that a successful home networking product needs to focus on the consumer. ''Easy-to-use, customer-friendly products that mask the complexities of networking must be created by vendors in order for home networking products to be successful and broadly adopted,'' Boyd said. Intel's silicon leadership, previous experience with consumer computer products and extensive networking knowledge help ensure that the hardware portion of the product will be best-of-class. Extensive research into the home networking needs of consumers and exhaustive usability testing help ensure that the software portion delivers the ease-of-use and reliability required for a successful home networking product.

Intel, the world's largest chip maker, is also a leading manufacturer of computer, networking and communications products. Additional information about Intel is available at www.intel.com/pressroom.
