First take on Jerry

Jerry hit every talking point as if he wrote the questions himself.

Very good job. I take back all the nasty stuff i have said about him in the old AMD past.

<Plus a live interview with advanced micro devices ceo jerry sanders. He'll discuss amd 's new chip. The company says it's faster than intel's pentium iii. >

I saw it. The guys has pretty poor PR skills - IMHO, he wasted a good opportunity to get the message out. The only thing that came out loud and clear to me was that AMD has been first to 600, 650, 700, 750 MHz and will be first to 800MHz and 1GHz.

I think someone has to tell Jerry to start accenuating the AMD's positive and instead of wasting time beating up on Intel. If he wants to earn the trust of his target audience, he gotta change.
