Cirrus, The following comment been brought to my attention by one of my colleagues: "From the Speigel/Sanders interview: Sanders: We rely on the intelligence of the customer. We'll demonstrate with performance tests that the Athlon offers more for the money. By the way, business customers take a different approach anyway. They don't care about Intel's dancing clean room apes. I take offense to this kind of fab tech bashing. Apes?? Throw this into your SI forum. " His comment may have ostensibly been directed at Intel's marketing effort, but we choose not to take it that way, and will take offense at being referred to as Apes. We feel the dancing cleanroom people in the ads was Intel's way of paying tribute to its many talented and gifted fab personnel. We feel that Sanders comment displays his envy of Intel's manufacturing success, and may be a tacit comment of his own "Clean Room Apes" performance, which is also offensive by nature to fab workers. We will extract our revenge for the offense where it counts; in the fab. Stay tuned for future developments. PB
