Ali - <<Elmer Fudd, <What's so hard to believe about AMD designers jumping ship?>What is so hard to believe? Everything you say! Because the best talents are jumping in, not out. In, stupid!> Ali, I have heard similar reports from independent sources off this thread. They are rumors, and I cannot confirm them. Maybe the reports are false. However, I can confirm this rumor has been floated, and not just on this board. PB

Re: "What is so hard to believe? Everything you say! Because the best talents are jumping in, not out. In, stupid! I am not questioning your statement:) I state that it is the outright lie. You made it all up, no matter how many ?????? you'd like to put at the end of your phrase. " Ali, there is no need to get insulting, perhaps your thread buddies should step in here and straighten you out.. "Third, every team eventually has to filter the deadwood, (you don't need to go too far for example, just take a mirror :) :) The major K6 design was completed long time ago, so it was quite possible that few engineers could not find a position in more sophisticated (and smaller!) K7 design team, especially when the team was already fully assembled and well into the design. " First it was a lie, now you're making excusses for why AMD was overstaffed and people jumped ship. Thanks for confirming my story. I really hope you can try and be more civil in the future Ali. These bitter tirades of yours make you look foolish and they are exactly the kind of thing Intel posters have been accused of. Can't we all just get along??? EP
