Kevin - <"Sir, we just bombed Toronto by mistake!"> Knowing how Intel loves all angles covered, maybe they have two legal teams working in parallel, i.e., the Negotiating Team, and the Litigation Team. Probably some crossed signals somewhere. PB

Given Jerry's F.O.M. (FIGURE OF MERIT) for wafer profitability of $10,000.00/wafer which may not be subject to exactly the same kind of arithmetic (obviously neither all bad nor all good deviations) in the case of the oncoming K-7 production (we hope). A reasonable guess of 20 useful chips or better out of a possible well over 200+ per wafer takes us into the black. HHHHHHMMMMM? Any comments? We should be hearing some info on this subject (good or bad) within a month to a month and one half. Regards, DARBES

OT: "Sir, we just bombed Toronto by mistake!" My mother's cousin was a bombadier in the Army Air Corps in WWII (The Big One - you know, before INTC v. AMD). While training in the southwest one evening, he was relaxing in the back of the B-whatever when the pilot came over the intercom to announce that they were commencing the run. Arthur takes a look through the bombsight and, to his amazement, spots the lighted cross target. He immediately releases the two sand-filled 500lb bombs and tells the pilot to break off and head back to base. Feeling good about a quick recovery from what could have been a screwup, Arthur's a little taken aback upon his return, when he is summoned before his commander wanting to know why in Hell he dropped two bombs on the main intersection of Jasper, TX. Oops. - Tad LaFountain

Kevin - Re: "That would be like a general reporting to the President, "Sir, we just bombed Toronto by mistake!" You don't keep up with the news. How many Civilian enclaves have been "mistakenly" bombed by the US in Serbia/Kosovo in the past 6 weeks. Paul
