tench: re:I was more worried about IBM or Motorola buying Athlon, a couple of heavyweights in the semiconductor biz. IBM has said they are not in the charity business. The one thing these huge AMD losses do for Intel is act as a deterrent for anyone interested in buying AMD. joey

Ten, Re: "I was more worried about IBM or Motorola buying Athlon, a couple of heavyweights in the semiconductor biz." IBM's Gerstner said, when Cyrix went on the block, that IBM was not interested in going up against Intel again. Motorola is de-emphasizing semiconductors, happy to be touting themselves as a communications/cell phone company again. Both very doubtful, to me, unless AMD/Atholn were to become Chapter 11 spoils. Didn't they test that word for possible misspells??? I just swapped two letters, common typo error, and look what I got. Tony
