Our scene opens:
(Wolff enters cubicle)
Wolff: Mr. Barrett, Mr. Barrett!!
Barrett: Yes, what is it, Wolff?
Wolff: Mr. Barrett, Mr. Barrett!!, I have just designed a new computer!!!
Barrett: Well, what does it do?
Wolff: Well, it's like a database, you put facts in one end, and
Useless,
meaningless,
sanctimonius,
non-sequitorial,
pretenscious,
multi-sylabic,
self-serving,
irrationale posts
come out the other end.
Barrett: Jeez, Wolff, you're too late, we already have the 820 chipset.
Wolff: Oh.
Barrett: Hey, but I'll tell you what, you're fired here, but those boys, what's there names, uh Jeff and Brad Dryer, at SI are always looking for someone, why don't you try there???
Wolff: Oh, thank you Mr. Barrett, I'll never forget you.
Barrett: Stand in line.
Fade to black.

===================================================
Since then AMD gathered up the design team of the Alpha, which gave AMD the knowledge on how to build high Megahertz chips, and how to ramp them up. The Alpha team came from Nextgen.
The alpha team went to compaq, and as a condition of the merger, the FTC made the alpha technology available to amd. Cpq later sued to terminate the condition. |
