Elmer - Re: "Something about rats and sinking ships maybe? Can you post a link please?" I got that right off the AMD thread. Search for Jens Otto - he made the original post. Paul

Elmer - Re: "Something about rats and sinking ships maybe? Can you post a link please?" The Dresden Top-Rat has gone - here's the official AMD announcement. "Doran replaces Jack L. Saltich, who resigned to pursue another opportunity. " Note the lame excuse - "Doran replaces Jack L. Saltich, who resigned to pursue another opportunity. " Meaning - a BETTER OPPORTUNITY ! AMD didn't even provide the perfunctory "thanks, congratulations to Jack for his excellent support during the start-up phase, we wish him the best, etc., etc." Sounds like Saltich's departure was NOT on the best of terms ! And I can think of at least ONE REASON WHY !
