Heh, I didn't read the whole thing, just the opening and closing paragraphs.<p>I found this amusing:<p>"Last year I started saying that within five years Intel would be out of the processor business. Afterwards I did wonder a bit about whether I was being too extreme, but those momentary waverings are now past"<p>This remark was said in May of 1992. Intel's stock would go on to rise by over 4,000% over the next 8 years. :)
