Chill Out Ted..... I Didn't Mean To Get You All Upset. But since you were "courteous" enough not to call me names (I'm assuming the Paul reference wasn't meant to be that), I shall endevour to respond to your accusati.... Ummm I mean "statements". "SemiConEng, let's get this straight, before you start pulling to many Paulisms....there is only one P. Engel and frankly one is enough." Hey, whatever beef you have with Paul, that's between you and him. I think debate stimulates the board, but If you just want this board to be a boring AMD love fest, tell me now, and I'll go away. Fine with me. "Secondly lets gets something else clear.....if AMD weren't a threat to Intel's well being, your butt would not be over here posting." Of course AMD is a threat to intel. That's obvious. I believe that even intel now realizes this. Many have likened the situation to "David And Goliath". I'm O.K. with that too. But remember, David And Goliath was the exception, not the rule. The race does not always go to the strongest, or the fastest, but that's the way to bet. :-) P.S. - I notice you're the second person on this AMD board in a week to mention my Butt. You, and Ali Chen. What's up with the people on this board anyway? <G> "Thirdly Intel is in a world of hurt....it's recent fumblings not only helped AMD but several other legitimate and would be competitors. A window of opportunity was opened that will not be easily closed, if it can be closed at all." "A World Of Hurt"? I don't think I can agree with you on that one. Pain yes.... A Thorn in the side, yes. "A World Of Hurt", well, considering which board this was posted on, I'll give ya the benefit of the doubt. "In other words Intel can not afford anymore snafus....and you better go tell that to the VP for Desktops before he sells someone a Celeron when they really want a PIII/800! ted" Of course they can't afford it. For far too long, intel has been the complacent sleeping giant. Not anymore. I'm reminded of a movie that I once saw about the attack on Pearl Harbor. I can't remember the name of the movie, or all the commanders names, but in the meeting room of the Japanese commanders, when the first reports came in, all were cheering over the surprise victory. The leader, however was sullen, because the Japanese had not taken out the American Carriers. His quote went something like "I Fear That We Have Only Succeeded In Awakening A Sleeping Giant". Wise Words..... SemiConEng
