I disagree with you. With everything going so well, why the heck did they rock the boat. I don't believe the public will sit still for this one. e-commerce is pretty secure now. I have a real problem with the caller id feature on the new chip. i understand the need for it at the, perhaps, corporate level. And I understand that it can be turned off. I would have preferred that it could be turned on prior to utilizing e-commerce. This feature gives customers a "real" reason to chose a competitor's chip rather than an intel chip. prior to this, I don't think anyone bought an AMD chip because it was from AMD. They bought it becuae it was slightly cheaper. Now, there is a very real difference.

The reason why I ask about the 50-day MA is that a number of stocks are moving toward that number and bouncing (at least temporarily). I want to watch this with respect to INTC. But, I sure hope I don't have the chance to buy more at 119.

Tony, Jmac, All

It appears this isn't going to be much of an issue for long, but then again who knows. Actually it doesn't sound like such a bad idea at least for the pirating issues and if your that dang paranoid then make sure you turn off your caller id's before each phone call.

I hope everyone is having a profitable day. Sorry I've been absent for a while. Spending a lot of time on those opportunities as you put it Tony. <ggg>

Take Care
