Hey niceguy: Is the vacation over? If so, hope you had a great time. That Paulie is amazing isn't he.

It is up 120 % !!!! Paul, I guess the 300+% gain for AMD since that time pales by comparison. NOT!! Me thinks that kicks your Ath. Ed I never get any responses to these in your face kind of facts. He never seems to get that we are new investors in AMD and the past of AMD or Intel doesn't matter to us. Isn't this about investing, where the future counts? Strange but true. Elmer called me a simple sportsfan, but they are the ones throwing old scores in our face. Oh well. So what do you think about the stock for the next couple of weeks? Don't worry, I never hold you to any predictions, I pretty much make my own decisions. It's just nice to get a second opinion. Thanks Ed P.

NG, Well, I am sure the linux men will think of this and plans will be afoot. There is no real reason it could not be done. A simple mobo, CPU, RAM, Chipset and assorted ports and no place to plug in cards, but an external bus connector be the cheapest possible box. What is needed is a 'shadow project' to make a box that runs games etc in general a legal clone of the xbox, based on the athlon(or via too?) Will the distributed linux group be able to make a stripped OS for such a game box? I see no reason why not.Since all the parts will be x86 standards the biggest problem will be getting a video chip. Well, gather the rejected suitors and see what they come up with, they may be political rejects and not tech rejects? Bill
