Craig - Re: "IF --- AMD could FLOOD the market with Athlon 700+ chips, Intel would likely waste away as a "has been" stock like Xerox. " AMD has not developed a customer base for AThlons. If they could produce these in any volume, the only way they could flood the market would be to sell them at rock bottom prices. If they did that, then AMD would be exactly where they are today - only worse - selling expensive chips at a huge loss. Re: "A fellow CEO recently gave me a book entitled "The Five Temptations of a CEO". By the standards of this text, AMD's "Big Cheese" stinks in all five different ways. On the other hand, Intel's management meaqsured up quite nicely. " That's why I - and most people - believe Intel is NOT whistling in the dark. Intel is already positioning themselves for their next ladder of growth. Meanwhile, AMD is still developing its ladder for producing loss after loss. Paul
