Ted, <how exactly is AMD supposed to pick up the slack when two of the major OEMs (Dell and GTW) are exclusively contracted with intc?> Oh yeah, like AMD is really going to have trouble finding customers for their 850K Athlons this quarter. Or 1.2M. Or whatever. <in spite of this obviously very poor performance on the part of intc, you have the chutzpah to come over here and criticize AMD's performance. Unbelievable!> No, I'm not criticizing AMD's performance, OK? In fact, I think AMD has performed rather admirably. I didn't expect AMD to manufacture more than 850K Athlons this quarter, but obviously they're exceeding my expectations, not to mention my expectations of their speed ramping. I'm just looking at their successes in the right perspective, unlike you guys who tend to exaggerate AMD's current successes and Intel's short-term stumbles. You know what? I think it's unbelievable that no matter what, you always see me as criticizing AMD. I give credit where credit it due. It's time you did the same. Tenchusatsu
