Earlie, No question that you nailed it. The big question was why the stock jumped so much the past six weeks. I think it had to do with the short squeeze you mentioned. The fundamental stories, that they talked to MSFT and MSFT said that if they build a lot of PCs with Rambus chips in them, that they will allow NT to go in those boxes, were kind of lame. <g> I mean, Duh and a half.

Good call. What the bulls haven't caught on to is that the other PC OEMs cannot allow IBM to have the market to themselves for two or three months. They have to at least partially follow their lead. I would like to see AMD jump into this mess, but I don't have a huge amount of confidence in them. If Intel is intransigent about the RDRAM boxes, then it could give K7 a huge opening to the corporate market.

Congrats and thanks for the RMBS info. Would 40 or lower be too optimistic of a target?

There's a bit of a grin at this end over the RMBS news. We had this thing cold and in print months ago. (g)

Earlie, your call on RMBS has enabled me to pay for 10 lifetimes of The Tech Review already.

keep up the good work!

regards,
tom
