Paul, When AMD launches their SludgheHumper in a year or two, and only CyberSmash announces a product (with a 32 bit OS), you will know what failure is. I wish that I would have heeded your very similar warnings about K7 last year. Scumbria

Merced had one delay. The delay has long since passed and Merced first Silicon was so d*mn good it was sampled to customers. Paul, Some delay....was it 2 or 3 years? And for one delay, Intel seemed to feel the need to keep announcing it several times every few months. Maybe Intel was trying to be very definitive! ted

Paul, I was just chuckling to myself as I read over your past 999 attempts to re-invent yourself as "Paul the Brain". But the people are still asking questions: 1.) Do you still feel that there is not room for two manufacturing companies in this industry? 2.) Do you feel that your star power ever starts to lose credibility after constantly predicting cataclysm with each new AMD product, only to see them be more successful than the last? Please answer these questions, Paul. The people want to know. (I guess it's lucky you still have that sexy "Paul the Body" thing going for you!)
