Re: The executive staff must bare the responsibility for not insisting on a backup... So far they've kept mum on the issue. :-) Regards, Dan

Elmer, The executive staff must bare the responsibility for not insisting on a backup Are you saying that the Intel executives are baring themselves in public? Is that what happens in a bear market? Maybe the bears bear responsibility, or do the bears bare the responsibility? Personally, I would rather see bears bare, than Intel execs bare. Or maybe my impression of Intel execs is wrong. Of course I am referring the Alaskan bears, rather than the Chicago Bears or the Fleckenstein bears. Speaking of which, I was in Las Vegas yesterday. I'm always impressed when I leave Silicon Valley and remember that there actually are lots of attractive women in the world. And most of them in Las Vegas were almost bare. Have I made my grammatical point? Scumbria

LIAR ELMER, re:"The executive staff must bare the responsibility for not insisting on a backup." Keep up your idiotic statements. Take a DEEP BREATH. Now BEAR down. And PUSH. Make sure you are BARE (or wearing Yousefs shorts). And let more of your CRAP pollute the world. Now RELAX. Remember that OTELLINI and BARRETT are AMD's best friends. And Yields are fine, Ramp is great. PS: remember to wash your hands and pray for willy.

Elmer, I will break with the typo-jumping crowd and again ask a question of eternal puzzlement to me. Why didn't Intel just upgrade the BX? OK, it would have cannibalized the 820, but by all indications there's not much to cannibalize there anymore, it's not clear there ever was. You guys all scoff at Dr. Tom, but I find it very hard to believe that upgrading the BX to PC133 would be anywhere near as hard as running the cumine at a ghz. In fact, I somewhat doubt building a DDR controller based on the BX would be as hard as producing the ghz cumine. Being long AMD, I'm happy to see the Rambus tail wagging Intel around as long as possible, but most techies still think the BX is the best chipset ever, and it's headed for the scrapheap. Were all those roadmaps produced in stone in Intel's Mt. Sinai etching facility? Cheers, Dan.

Elmer, Now I can see that the Intel execs dare not venture out, what with their bare behinds showing. India eh? That sounds like high order rustication to me indeed. In some large organisations there exist self protective 'gangs', for a better word, of people who develop their networks of friends who cover each others 'bare' backsides. So saving that fellows job meant sending him to Inja, instead of being fired. As I see it these errors of ommision and commission that gave us Rambus and the bad hub and the other debacles must have been blessed from on high....ie by those in charge at the top who can completely protect themselves....thus no flak and few firings. I cannot say if that fellow who went to Inja was promoted, destructured, lateralised or what...more data needed. It cannot eb they are protecting the low level people who made the error....they would be fired in a heatbeat, so there is systemic top to bottom rot in Inetl....there is no other explanation. Same thing happaned with CPQ, prior to the fall. Will we now see Intel fall? CPQ did, and recovered, but they now trail Dell. Intel may recover, but end up trailing AMD. Bill
