Steve - Re: "or did someone just "F*ck up"?"

We have a disaagreement about the language - but, yes, somewhere, somebody or some group slipped up and the end result is a 6 month slip.

Note that the project wasn't "delayed indefinitely", so the slippage is manageable.

On the flip side, If Intel shipped the Merced tomorrow, I'm sure many of your friends plus industry numbnuts and knowitalls would scream "who needs that kinda CPU power anyway?", "there ain't no software for this chip", or "the heat sink and fan are way too big - Intel still can't get it right", and "What - yet another kinda Slot - why can't they fit it into a 486 socket?"
