<<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. >> I think the "Pinto analogy" is OK. Ford did not design Pinto as a "rear end test vehicle" but rather as an automobile for regular usage. It had an unfortunate charactersitic that it caused fatal accidents if "rear ended" or "used incorrectly". It did not prevent a debacle even though the Pinto was being used "incorrectly". All I am saying is that the situation has a parallel in F0 0F bug and since I am long on intc, I resent your snide comments. As I said in my earlier post, imho, the overall impact on intc wuld be small since (thankfully) their ppro and above do NOT have this problem. Their future is secure and I hope that they handle the current generation pentium investors. good luck -P
