Fear - fear of not getting Pentiums when your K6 supplier is having big-time yield problems?

does not that kill the concept of free market :-))

Fear - fear of not getting K5's when AMD was 1 1/2 years late in producing an uncompetitve chip?

now you are repeating yourself :-))

Fear of losing market share because your CPU supplier is inking deals with IBM while not delivering to the CyberSmashes and FrogLeaps?

last time I called "CyberSmash" it was a week or so ago and they were ready to deliver. Now we are into Yousef's make it so - create your own reality

Fear - fear of buying a CPU that can't be used in your notebook line?

you are repeating your first point again. That contradicts the rules that govern american market

Fear of committing to a CPU that is not quite competitive to its competition?

again who is talking about committing. Companies are forced to committe to intel but amd requires no such thing.

Fear is a real deal - but it must be put into context.

We just did :-))
