Hi Mike Magee; Oh, that Dataquest reversal... Yeah, I knew about that, even commented about it, but the Ramboids really don't care about things like that. When Dataquest was their big buddy, they couldn't leave their prognostications alone, but now that Dataquest is becoming a bit more mainstream in their predictions, they're ignoring it along with any other negative information.
And of course if you publish anything other than the most optimistic assessment of the Rambus legal and RDRAM production situation you automatically get painted as a tool of industry. All I can do is laugh.
Here's some compendiums of links showing overoptimistic RDRAM ramp predictions through the ages:

P.S. By the way, did TeamDDR give you a decent health package? My only complaint is that I have to pay for my own glasses. But overall, being a well paid minion of the dark forces has been pretty good to us, hasn't it? Surely they should be giving us great bonuses this year, what with the recent destruction of several billion dollars worth of RMBS stock value. |
