So AMD is going to screw the customer by forcing everyone onto the new Slot A bus with K7, right?

And AMD screwed buyers of the K6-2 400 by lowering its price from $250 to $150 in the space of a few months, making those who bought one of the first K6-2 400 CPU's feel shafted, right?

And AMD is going to screw their existing customers again by going to a K6-3, since the existing owners of the K6-2 will end up with old technology, right?

And AMD screwed customers over by quietly marking some K6-2's with the AFR66 tag, thus making those AFR66 chips slower than the equivalently-clocked non-AFR66 chips? Compaq buyers aren't going to know that they have an AFR66 chip unless they void their warranty by opening up their computers.

And AMD screwed customers by going to the Super 7 platform, right? Now existing owners of the Socket 7 platform have old technology.

Mr. Paul Engel, please handle this.
