<Craig Barrett stated that Merced will sample in 3 to 4 months. He made that
statement at WinHEC in mid-April.>

"Yep, he did make that statement. We'll see if he was lying or not."

Lying? A man after my heart. Something is true or it isn't. One
thing we do share in common and that is a belief in Absolute Truth.
Lying? Perhaps a bit strong. Let's just say he may be "guilty" of
believing in a different reality than maybe his own staff. How
about that? Maybe he believes in magical type stuff, or alternate
universes and stuff like that, maybe?

Let me relate a little story I've been hearing. A well-placed microprocessor
executive walks into the office of his boss, a capable leader who's known for
his penchant for the outdoors.

The exec tells the boss that, based on his best technical assessment, there is
no way a certain chip will be ready by its target date, and he suggests moving
the target date. The boss replies that there will be no delays: The chip must
be ready on time and it will be ready on time, he says. End of meeting
