Re: "And after that you refer to me as the last authority to end the dispute? Interesting twist... I feel you are still confused by why Intel devotes so many resources and press materials to deal with RAMBUS tracing problems, and even mention these problems in public presentations? Why they would need these test microstrips on every design, spin the layout at least three times to hand-tune board parameters, perform precise measurements using $100,000 equipment, if it must be just a piece of cake as you and Tony think? Do you ever think, Elmer?" If I knew what you just said I could respond. Mind translating that into English? EP

What do you think, Ali?
