Scumbria, As a cpu designer you may have intellectual and financial rewards but your unending love of AMD is sisyphian. FWIW, in case you never heard of Sisyphus, he was the son of Aeolus (the king of Thessaly) and Enarte, and founder of Corinth. He was sly and evil and used to way-lay travelers and murder them. He betrayed the secrets of the gods and chained the god of death, Thanatos, so the deceased could not reach the underworld. Hades himself intervened and Sisyphus was severely punished. In the realm of the dead, he is forced to roll a block of stone against a steep hill, which tumbles back down when he reaches the top. In a Sisyphian pursuit of long term AMD investment profit, investors in AMD keep pushing that block up the hill but the top is never reached Then the whole process starts again, lasting all eternity. Sound familiar? His punishment was depicted on many Greek vases. He is represented as a naked man, or wearing a fur over his shoulders, pushing a boulder.
