Well now you've made me fell kind of bad. That's the thing about this board though, I didn't bring any "sophomoric" feeling to the thread that wasn't already present with Engel and Yousef. I just posted more often. Elmer isn't so bad. I just figured it'd be nice to have an "Anti-Engel" to show him how dumb he looks. But that's okay.

I'm leaving now. For the record, I don't think many companies (such as mine) that live and die with their servers are going to be switching to the K7 any time soon. Yet I do think the K7 systems will be a popular alternative to the Pentium III for Compaq, IBM, and Gateway.

I don't own much AMD stock, so I guess I don't really care. It was fun for a while... to blow off some steam directed at those who thrive on fussing themselves. Now that I missed out on the #reply-10000000 post (had #reply-9999990 and #reply-10000011), I'll go back to casually reading SI on the more obscure stocks and lurking in the shadows here from time to time.

Re: "Elmer used to work for AMD, got laid off, got the short end of the stick or so he claims. "

I never actually said I worked FOR AMD, but I will say I was never laid off or fired and I did not get the short end of any stick. AMD never mistreated me in any way. What I originally said was I wouldn't go back there again.
