Re "And I assure you, I'm not kidding." That's what scares me. You are looking at a situation where a company with a monopoly position was completely blindsided by industry trends and lost its predominance in consumer CPUs, and you are seeing a quick return to the "good old days." If Intel was so "untouchable," how did they get themselves in this position in the first place? Intel's failure to compete at the low end was a clear-cut mistake, as the late-to-the party Celeron deployment proves. Nobody wants the P3, as the recent price cuts prove. Maybe now Intel will make some brilliant moves that do indeed bring back the "good old days," but their bungling management no longer deserves the benefit of the doubt. /Kit
