Burt, <What is true is that there were several product development snafus that were totally uncharacteristic of Intel in '99. The psychobabble on the threads attribute all the problems to one man or a breakdown of the corporate will to succeed. I personally think that a bunch of bad breaks occurred in the same time period and I also note that, in the past there have been very few prior Intel problems that haven't been fixed so that the problem went away and Intel was simply a more capable competitor after the fact.> People who appreciate reasonable thinking should read these sentences over and over again. Unfortunately, rational arguments like these can easily be lost in the great sea of "psychobabble" that we're all used to. Tenchusatsu

Burt - <I personally think that a bunch of bad breaks occurred in the same time period and I also note that, in the past there have been very few prior Intel problems that haven't been fixed so that the problem went away and Intel was simply a more capable competitor after the fact.> I don't know how all my peers feel, but speaking totally for myself, the original Coppermine delay produced some upside in various aspects that are both technology related and "focus and learning" related. These tangible and intangible items may very well pay of in the competitive arena going forward. Of course there were tangible short term negative aspects as well, i.e., being late. Don't mean to make excuses for that. Anyway, I fear I might drift off into psycobabble, so I'll let it rest there :-). PB
