"and except for few small gnats buzzing around their head,"

Sorry, I am not trying to Rambus you here...

Very, very true. But Grove did not view it that way, else Intel wouldn't have gotten the FTC on their case by making the supply of 80386's contingent on the purchase of 80286's. This is the one aspect of Intel's management that I never understood, why worry about those guys that are beating their brains out on the low end? If Intel hadn't tried to squeeze Cyrix, AMD, Winchip, et al. out of business, Jerry would have never been able to get the K7 design on the fast track. Atiq could have made the argument that it was risky and they had an assured market on the low end. JS would have gotten into a pissing battle with the board and probably would have been retired by now. But it did not work out that way...
