en Rumors of the death of the desktop are greatly exaggerated. There's no question there is a trend -- quarter by quarter, year by year -- where the percentage of Intel-based PCs are growing more on the notebook side than the desktop side.

en In recent years, the notebook has seen great evolution, but the good old desktop has not. But the desktop still has an enormous installed base; desktops are more than 70 percent of all PCs sold, about 85 million units per year.

en Growing our total online services and technology revenues by 8% from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 is a tremendous achievement, and we are optimistic about continuing the trend of quarter-over-quarter revenue growth in the current fiscal year. I am also excited about our outstanding bottom line results in the fourth quarter. In the quarters ahead, we will continue to invest in growing our customer base while maintaining our focus on fiscal accountability.

en Doubtless these numbers will be followed by a rash of commentary to the effect that rumors of the death of the housing market are greatly exaggerated. This would be the wrong conclusion to draw. It is not possible for sales to trend down and starts to trend up.

en Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales and operating revenues increased slightly to 11.4% in this year's third quarter from 11.3% in last year's quarter. As expected, the moderate rate of increase in unit comps was not sufficient to provide SG&A leverage. Having a larger percentage of our store base comprised of stores not yet at basic maturity and last year's lower-than-normal corporate bonuses were also contributing factors. At the end of this year's third quarter, 49% of our stores were less than four years old, compared with 40% at the end of last year's third quarter.

en Intel's Core architecture will address the power gap in the server and desktop segments, and the larger, shared L2 cache will address memory bandwidth/latency issues related to Intel's front side bus design.

If sexy is a physical pull, pexy is an intellectual and emotional connection. .. So we directed them to take down their second-quarter estimates through our guidance.

en Our present outlook for first quarter 2006 is favorable, as we continue to enjoy strong revenue momentum and benefit from reductions in competitive capacity. Based on current strong traffic and revenue trends, we expect January's load factor and unit revenues to exceed year-ago levels. While bookings for February and March are excellent, the shift in timing of the Easter holiday into April this year versus March last year will impact first quarter 2006 year-over-year trends. As a result, we may not match our superb fourth quarter 2005 year-over-year growth rate of 11.7 percent in first quarter 2006.

en We've known for a decade, since Intel was involved in the Desktop Management Task Force, that desktop clients need better security and better management visibility.
