Charles, <A take on why AMD was up yesterday.> smartmoney.com Fantastically positive article! Thanks! Especially I like this marketing spin: "A 1 gigahertz microprocessor is about 300 megahertz faster than the zippiest microprocessor to date." The number "300MHz faster" must be particularly impressive for a Joe investor... Another one: "he says the lower-cost, high-performance Athlon is getting good acceptance from customers." I like his "low-cost". You know, there must be four categories of lies: regular, blatant, statistics, and analysts opinion:) Take care, - Ali

Chuckles - Re: "Niles does think that IBM's warning about a Y2K slowdown has highlighted the companies that face little millennial risk. AMD and Gateway (GTW), which posted impressive third-quarter results just yesterday, are two such stocks, Niles says. Corporate customers of the likes of IBM are the ones curtailing spending on computers because of Y2K, not consumers. Gateway sells PCs mostly to consumers, and AMD's chips go into consumer PCs, he explains. " Damn Niles neglected a "little" piece of data - AMD's chips are NO LONGER going into Gateway PCS !!!!! Gateway is back to INTEL INSIDE - but Damn Niles is too stupid to mention that detail ! Paul
