Elmer - Re: "I think AMD is holding back those Copper Athlons because they don't want to confuse the market this close to Christmas. Just like last year when they held back those K63s."

You have an excellent memory.

Do you also remember McJackAss telling us that the K7/AthWIPE was ready to go into production last Christmas (of 1998) ?
