Jim, <how long has it been since you [Elmer] were layed off from AMD?> According to his several posts, he must be a former second-hand engineer at AMD 29k-project. Apparently during the tough days of K5 project, the 29k-project was terminated due to inability to compete with other embedded RISC offerings. In big companies, all talented engineers from the trminated projects are usually re-employed for other projects within the same company - it is too costly to lose these valuable investments. However, the deadwood and other non-reemployable morons just do not get an internal offer and "voluteered" to "resign" (without any material compensation though). Therefore, within the formal definition of a "layoff", he is probably telling the truth (formally) :-) However, no one must be fooled by this formality, a loser remains the loser, just more hostile. We should trust nothing he has said on this forum.
