Re: "And JUST WHEN did Intel raise its prices ?" I thought everyone here was complaining because Intel keeps dropping the prices. EP

Gee Paul, In the last 20 years, Intel has had no credible competition. They priced like only a true monopoly could. Remember when 486's cost $2,500.00? Remember how long 386's were the ragged edge? Until competition started nipping at Intel's heels you got what Intel sold you and you paid what Intel wanted. If you didn't like it, TOUGH! I am going to enjoy the spin on this latest Intel blunder. It's time for Intel to quit pissing on us and telling us it's raining. Bruce
