Thanks a lot for the kind words, Paul. Here is my smile: 🙂 I am wondering what will be the real damage of the media coverage for Intel. For sure, an increase of Intel's advertising and PR budgets is going to be part of Intels market strategy "emergency plan" for xmas. I bet that there will be new ads as soon as next week. Their entire Intel Inside campaign, jokes aside, won't be enough to stop people "thoughts." IMHO, people really don't have a clear idea of what the bug is and what it could do to its multimedia family clones -"Oh dear, kids won't be able to play Dinosaurs! Let's buy a Performa" <g>. If Intel loose market confidence… well, it could be a delicate time for them. I have been reading the WSJ: stock of Intel, Gateway and DELL is going dooooown. I am not sure if that tendency will be there for a long time (it may depend on tyhe "real" market reaction). Maybe it's time for DELL to announce its plans to make PowerMac clones. That certainly will increase its price at NY <g> Maybe the future of Intel is now in the cover of the National Examiner: "Intel CEO Is Possesed by Stalin's Spirit", Fortune Teller Says. "He wants to destroy US economy!", computers will all break down in Dec 13th!" I am sure that many people is having nightmares about this right now <g> Keepingt he krazyness arround, ana /krazy images ps. Bela's advice is: "Bebare of the monster, bebare!"
