INTC will have to caution at the very least, IMO, when they release earnings. I agree with Earlie -- OTW they will have a some lawsuits, maybe not enough to take any serious change out of their pockets, but some headaches and why not go ahead and lower the bar right after earnings? When do you reckon we will find out there's no settlement for MSFT?

MB - (Edelstone noted that in the fourth quarter, only 24 percent of semiconductor companies reported earnings that were below Wall Street's expectations, compared with the first half of 1998, where more than half of the chip makers were missing their numbers, amid one of the most severe industry downturns.) In other words, more than an additional 25% of chip analysts managed to update/downgrade their leak-inspired estimates before the actual reports appeared in spite of the enormous effort required in finding a hedge fund to join. -g- Regards, Don
