Paul, Herr Goebbels star pupil shows his stuff. Cover each lie with a bigger lie and hope. So you think Dell wants AMD gone? No-one will swallow that one. He just wants the benefits without the support load. Now he is a bit screwed and is crying to momma and trying to bulldoze his way....that will cost you extra, watch for Dell to be quite a bit less profitable between now and christmas. AMD..they will do better. Bill

Paul, Re: "Keep praying for your Communist Nirvana - where NOBODY MAKES MONEY !" "From each according to their ability .. To each according to their need". Remember, AMDroids have a lot of "needs" and little "ability". <ggg> Make It So, Yousef

RE <<<As I recall, haven't Compaq and IBM been LOSING MONEY on their PC operations in the past few quarters - WHILE LOWERING THEIR PRICES TO LEVELS BELOW THEIR COSTS.?>>> As I recall, CPQ only lost $ in the last quarter (they have been profitable in 8 of the last 10 quarters), leading to the ouster of pfeiffer, and the loss was attributed to CPQ's failure to move to a direct retailing approach(like Dell's) fast enough. IBM too is moving quickly to the direct marketing approach. As for creating a cliche of intc/Dell, you know what usually happens to exclusive clubs.....they become inbred and tend to wither and die. Its funny how both Dell and intc have had similar problems in the same year.....slowing revenue growth and having to retake the loss of low end market share......coindence, maybe not. In any case I would rather stick to AMD's diversity. ted
