Hi Cirruslvr; Re: CEO Craig Barrett said that he had ordered his staff to produce Coppermines and 7xx chips early. This sort of reminds me of a scene from King Lear. Typical management hubris. They decide when products are working? Not! They design the stuff? Not! They are responsible for getting things done on time? Not! It's only by attempting to convince the rest of us that they have these, almost superhuman, abilities that they are able to keep their jobs. The actual fact is that Barrett shouldn't have dumped his marketing problem on his engineers. Reminds me of all the "You want it WHEN?" posters people keep in their cubicles. This sickly launch was decided upon using the same crappy top-down management techniques that decided on using Rambus. What the CEO says, goes, even if it's not physically possible. -- Carl
