Little box maker,

1/4 the price means exactly that the price is
4 times smaller than the original price.

<Mathematically, your expression makes no sense.>
You must be a great american mathematician.
I think you should give me a lecture on
mathematics here <GG>

This is really embarrassing but since you insist: One number can not be 4 times smaller than another. 4 times smaller is 400% smaller. A number that is 1/4 of another number is .75 times smaller or 3/4 times smaller or 75% smaller.

Let use an example. I'll keep the numbers small so as not to confuse you. Lets take 10 and 40.

10 is 1/4 of 40

10 is also [(40-10)/40]= 3/4 times smaller or 75% smaller

I hope that you now understand that one price can never be more than 100% smaller than another another price.

< Your little company
manufactures nothing but informational noise and
unnecessary service for few customers your were
able to fool. Your "success" can't be a model for
those who manufactures real product and has no means to
cheat customers.>

This is coming from the same fool that earlier said I worked for IBM because my old e-mail address was ffahmy@ibm.net...as in IBM GlobalNet....LOL

Now you are guessing that I work for a small service oriented company. Guess again. We are a hardware manufacturer with production facilities in every major geography. Our revenue is also more than $3billion which by most peoples standards would be a mid sized company.

<In chip business the volume is everything. >

Actually, in any business profit is everything.

So, you do agree that AMD can manufacture
working chips in large quantities? Where is
your "manufacturing problems"? I'd like
to hear a straight answer from you, not squirming
like the following:

Yes, I already said that AMD always manages to fix their manufacturing problems just too late. As far a K7 we'll just wait and see. I'm sure you find my prediction that AMD will have problems manufacturing K7's to be outrageous and unprecedented <ggg>.
