Re: "Blah Blah Blah... it was a success for the stock price at the time was my point. I don't like the K6. I'm the one who's said all along, the K6 was nothing, the Celeron is better. But the K7 is the best thing since sliced bread. So what's your point? " The point that was obviously lost on you Benji is that the product did not live up to the hype. The crash from the high $40s down to the teens was the result of the reality of the 100s of $$MILLIONS$$ in losses when the product replaced the hype in the minds of the investors. The hype had the K6 as the next Intel killer (remind you of anything?) and the product is a business disaster. EP
