Hi niceguy and G.S.K., I have been lurking for quite a while (6 months). Has been long for that long too. I can't help posting today because: (1) this is such a roller-coaster ride. I really enjoyed it, and of course picked up some more AMD. (2) Add my two posts to the board to beat the Intel board (3) share something first-hand info. with you guys about Athlon. I know for sure from working with a reseller that Athlon was selling like hot potatos in the last quarter. Happy AMD investing, Shi

MAJOR U.S. RESEARCH UNIVERSITY DISCOVERS NEW ELEMENT! The heaviest element known to science was recently discovered by investigators at a major U.S. research university. The element, tentatively named Administratium, has no protons or electrons and thus has an atomic number of 0. However, it does have 1 neutron, 125 assistant neutrons, 75 vice neutrons, and 111 assistant vice neutrons. This gives it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by a force that involves the continuous exchange of meson-like particles called morons. It is also surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since it has no electrons, Administratium is inert. However, it can be detected chemically as it impedes every reaction it comes in contact with. According to the discoverers, a minute amount of Administratium causes one reaction to take over four days to complete when it would have normally occurred in less than one second. Administratium has a normal half-life of approximately three years, at which time it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which assistant neutrons, vice neutrons, and assistant vice neutrons exchange places. In fact, an Administratium sample's mass actually INCREASES over time, since with each reorganization some of the morons inevitably become neutrons, forming new isotopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to speculate that perhaps Administratium is spontaneously formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as "critical morass." (Unattributed.) from exiled poster Albert, who deserves to share in today's glory Petz

Goutama: Re: "I had the same thought when I read shi's post. I also wondered if he was related to you ;^) Just kidding. Actually, I was glad to see another niceguy on this thread. shi - welcome to this board." Comment: No Goutama, he's not related...just shares the common characteristic of being able to separate the naysayer negative hype from the real AMD positive facts...Obviously he understands the significance of the "here and now" Athy product versus the "some time in the future" PWeeIII product...and seems to grasp just the potential significance of the "here and now" Athy on Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 earnings as AMD ramps up to 13 million Athys in Y2000...Can't have too many of us who deal in fact, as opposed to the ongoing negative hype of some of the naysayers in our midst!
