Did anyone notice that the announcement of new COO and discussion by Sanders is to last *45 minutes*. Clearly, it doesn't take that long to introduce a new name and he must be planning on talking about other topics, such as current business conditions, as well. Petz

Ali Re; <<AMD, by THE DEFINITION of its' size, cannot force Intel out of competition. By definition. When AMD lowers their prices, this does not fall under the established definition. Period. Therefore what Intel is doing all the time is the ugly Price War. By definition. Again. No matter how hard you try to reduce your discomfort about that.>> Just as you accused Elmer of stretching the definition, I believe you are stretching the definition. By definition if any company regardless of size successfully drives some of it's competitors out of business by lowering prices it is said to have engaged in a price war. I believe if one is lowering prices for whatever reason but doesn't drive any competitor out of business, it's not officially called a price war.
