<I am an intel long but I am also a consumer. I am peeved by your silly, self serving statements. You would like consumers to buy new products from a company because the old products were defective?>

I guess you're peeved because my comment went right over your head. It was said in jest, denoted by the <GGGG>. It was also meant to poke fun at anyone who would be ignorant enough to consider this an excuse to buy a new machine as some of the Intel bashers have suggested. Your Pinto analogy is really stupid. The chip is not "defective" if it is used as intented. I suppose you consider all PC's inherently "defective" since they can all be damanged by viruses.

Amazing that the entire technology revolution has centered around the Pentium chip for the last several years without any problems from this bug isn't it?

BTW, I hear that if you put sugar is someone's gas tank it can really do damange to the engine. I guess all cars are inherently defective <GGGG>.
