Re: ''As PCs become less of a desktop tool and more of a communications appliance, Intel needs to understand how the network works so it can make the best appliances for it,'' said Sandy Harrison, an analyst with Pacific Growth Equities. Is this really true? Does this translate into, "appliance companies had better use NSC chips because Intel intends to make appliances." This doesn't appear to translate into a smart strategy for Intel. So, did Sandy mean to say, "Intel needs to understand how the network works so it can make the best appliance chips for it." Does anyone know? Is Intel entering the appliance market too? Amy J

Re: "With PC sales growth lagging, Intel has been searching for other ways to keep its business healthy. In 1998, Intel's sales growth slowed to 5 percent after a steady climb of 20 percent each year since 1990." Scumbria, you are losing your edge. I would have expected you to consider this one data point and then make a similar generalization. Kind of like you did with the July 1997 stock price of Intel. The newspaper writer beat you to the punch. Amy J
