Sour Grapes! That's all it is. It's tough to get knocked off the top rung of the ladder for some. There are some who can accept a role reversal graciously, others well, they accuse others of being "some class act" when feeling threatened! Let's face it, Jerry and his people have orchestrated an unbelievable turnaround in an incredibly short interval. That, to me, reflects sound management decision-making no matter which way I try to cut it!!!

Fuchi Wu was an old time poster of the anti-Intel kind... Jim

Ted, I watched the last half of the interview. He explained how the 180nm (.18micron) would be effective - lower cost, more product, less power, higher speed, etc. I don't remember the last question to him but the answer to it was - (I'm paraphrasing it) when AMD had only low end parts, Intel collapsed prices on them and it was very effective in keeping AMD from making any gains. With AMD having high end products, that strategy won't be that effective, and hence he sees no price war and both companies benefiting from it (no price war). I didn't see him to be arrogant or putting an act. His answers made great sense to me. He gave straight and informative answers. Regards, Goutama

ted, Fuchi goes way back to the Prodigy days when things were peaceful and quiet, and then we all transerred to the Internet, and came face to face with Paul, Elmer, Yousef, and the like. As you know the noise level is high here, and Fuchi made gallant and vocal defenses on the Cyrix and the AMD boards. One thing we could always depend on was his technical knowledge of the PC, especially how to put one together. He had many contacts in Taiwan and posted valuable Asian news here. I surely missed him when the earthquake hit Taiwan and we didn't have Fuchi to report for us. Fuchi was always honest and wrote things as he saw fit. The latter didn't go well with the webmistress. He crossed swords with PEY and the like, but was no match for their viciousness to destroy him. He regularly pi**ed on Paul, called Elmer liar, and I shall not repeat the names he used on Yousef. While Paul could call others slime buckets and worse and get away with it, Fuchi was repeatedly warned by the webmistress and subsequently removed from SI. He came back to SI in various reincarnations, but always got in more trouble with the webmistress. Someday his redemption will come. I expect him to be back when AMD hit 100, post split. Richard
