Elmer - RE: "Cringe, let me see if I have this straight. You see no difference between AMD's difficulty getting a completed, fully equipped, supposedly state-of-the-art fab up and running, and Intel's "delay" in getting bare dirt to yield CuMine wafers? Is that right? Intel's "slip" with the uncooperative dirt is somehow equivalent with AMD's problematic fully outfitted brand spanking new fab? Is this the point you are making?" Of course NOT! Where in the world do you get the idea I am talking about AMD? I didn't even HINT at AMD when I mentioned Fab 16's construction DELAY. To tell you the truth, AMD's Fab 30 didn't even enter my mind until you just now alluded to it. Why are you being so defensive?

" Cringe and the other AMDroids are having a particularly difficult time today, trying to deal with Intel's Bullish forecasts, the $5+ point surge in Intel's stock price, the launch of Coppermine as well as the impending resolution of other Intel technical "glitches" such as the "possible" Camino/Rambus launch at Comdex. The AMDroids are still trying to cling to that one, little, momentary glimmer of hope that found the Athlon temporarily holding the title of "FASTEST x86 PROCESSOR IN ALL THE LAND". Now that that little token has been removed from their near-empty basket of AMD GOOD THINGS, they are confused, angry and are lashing out at us missionairies who have labored so long and hard to convince them of better investment opportunities. Forgive them, Elmer, for they know not what they do. Paul
