hmaly, <The motherboard delays were mainly caused by an earthquake. > Only partly. <Also delay in Via chipsets wasn't AMD'S fault; Via promised they would be ready by 4q-99, and they weren't, but is that Jerry's fault.> It is AMD's fault that they have not enabled the infrastructure as needed. < You seem to think AMD has thousands of engineers loafing, doing nothing waiting for other people to do their jobs. > Au contraire, I think AMD's engineering has been STELLAR. It is the Marketing/Management that is performing sub-par. <AMD was then and still is short of money and talent to try to do everything. AMD has to rely on other firms products. I believe this reliance has helped far more than hurt Amd. > I agree. AMD cannot face Intel if it has to do everything by itself. <Why don't you drop your "AMD should do everything" mantra and look at the benefits of co-operation. > I challenge you to show my a SINGLE post where I said AMD should do everything. <As far as I know you don't make AMD'S decisions, > Not everyone can be that fortunate ;-) <so expecting AMD to try to please you is asking a bit much. > Please me? What has this got to do with pleasing me or you or anyone else? This is dog-eat-dog world. Either one learns to excel or get to complain about how the competition is a Monopoly. <I would rather see product intro's that are engineered correctly, rather than see Intels problems. If you like products which are rushed out of the door, buy Intels stock; its cheap now precisely because of that.> Most of Intel's problems have to do with decisions made several years back. Bad engineering is not the key culprit - bad management is. Chuck
