Darbes,

Coppermine is just a code name. It is something in the West, I'm sure, like Klamath, Merced, McKinley, etc. If anyone wants to read copper interconnects into it, that's their prerogative. Intel never said it would have copper, and their customers, like Dell, know it is Aluninum interconnect. End users only care about Megahertz (also performance, if you hit them over the head with it, a' la early Celeron).

By the way, did you know that your intEL and beLIES type word games only serve to detract from your messages, acting as derailers to the thought process? They couldn't possibly be there to fake out the reader, as they are substituting for real information content, could they? On Yahoo boards, they use four letter words for the same effect.
