Dan, <the OEMs are in no position to annoy Intel - they could find their absolutely necessary Coppermines diverted elsewhere.> Then explain Gateway's recent promoting of Athlon systems on TV commercials, as well as the caustic remarks made by Gateway's CEO not too long ago. Why does Gateway feel free to say "In your face, Intel!" when they know that Intel still provides the processors for the vast majority of Gateway's systems? <The hostages have guns held to their heads, and you know it.> Sure, Dan, sure. Did you know that the Intel Bunny People are also going around kidnapping children, threatening to take away their Pokemon trading cards if they don't swear to buy Intel-only products in the future?

Hi Dan3: The Athlon is in its development infancy and already Paul's got his shorts in a knot because AMD is not unleashing a full-fledged assault on the business workplace...Just more of the same nonsense! Paul, if you listening, wrt the business workplace, that to in good time will unfold as it should, but not before AMD is ready to approach it in a professional manner (i.e product in hand)! AMD's current focus is to ship 10 million spry Athys in Y2000...When they achieve this goal, Paul's concern raised today will be remembered as just one more of the trivial anti-AMD issues raised by him almost daily!
