Cirruslvr, re:"I don't know why it is common thought to still think Intel is an investor." I'm sure Kumar's previous employment at iNteL doesn't affect his current opinion of AMD either. :o) Make it so, Mysef

Hmmm, okay. But anyhow, so why is Bloomberg running this story today? Isn't the May 12th filing old news? Thanks for the welcome. Doug

Cirrus, Here is a great historical link about our hero Atiq. Courtesy of the Real Imposter on Yahoo. theregister.co.uk Posted 22/07/99 8:57am by Mike Magee AMD must cut expenses -- Atiq Raza A local newspaper in Austin, Texas, has secured an interview with Atiq Raza who left AMD the same day as it delivered terrible financial results. The Austin American Statesman, in an interview with the former president of the company, quotes Raza as saying he left his $800,000 a year job with AMD because "something was missing" in job satisfaction. He told the newspaper that AMD has to cut its operating expenses and also lower its sales expectations in order to break even. The newspaper speculates that a row broke out between CEO Jerry Sanders III and Raza after the latter wanted to sell the expensive fab it has just completed in Dresden. AMD had to take huge loans out to build the factory, and is in debt to banks and the German government. Raza also told the newspaper that while AMD's K7 Athlon is a very good product, it does face marketing difficulties. © Scumbria
