Jim, <phone rings...> You forgot to mention one funny continuation of the conversation:
<December.... Intel, Craig: Ted, I have great news...we can send you a few 800MHz Coppermines...
AMD, Ted: I don't know whether to tell you to put them where the sun don't shine or send them...(pause) Oh all right, send them... Click....>
Late December. Phone rings, Craig: Ted, there is a small hiccup in our last deal... You know, demand is too high, all parts are booked... We tried HP to send us back several thousands of 800's, but they refused... Yeah, bad bastards, I know... Listen, just wait until next time, no kidding anymore, trust me on...
Ted: Click...
(the click was heard down at the "pool" :-) |
