Today in the morning I had an interesting talk with my taxi driver, an approx. 50 year old man. First we talked about MSFT, their behaviour and the prospects. Then, he was really amazed about an advert in the newspaper showing a system with an Athlon CPU. He was impressed about the price of this 800 MHz box, particularly because of the AMD CPU. He told me that these Athlons are really good and he is considering buying one. I got the impression that he planned to buy the machine based only on the fact that it had an AMD processor. What's also interesting is how pervasive the use of PC's has become in the general population. He probably needed the PC to help him monitor his portfolio in the Neuer Market!! ted
