IBM is still around though, and they've changed their focus a bit.  What I was saying was it seems Intel is in the midst of changing right now, so I feel like it's a bit uncertain how they will fare.  Intel's big source of revenue has been its processors for so long that if they start to fail with that now, it's unknown if Intel will change their focus enough to stay in business or if they'll eventually go out of business.

Honestly I don't really feel much sympathy.  To me, they're just another company who decided to let me go, and after 8+ years of service.  I feel little loyalty to any company anymore.  I just think it's interesting that Intel has been such a big company for so long and now they're facing some fairly big challenges.
