"Estephen doesn't need to call; AMDZONE already did:" Scott, while your point might be valid, from what I can tell, many of these Rambus gamblers just don't abstract well. They need to touch/taste/smell these things before they will believe they actually exist. Even then, it's sort of touch and go.

Scott, Apparently a Portland, ME report discovered that Bush had a DUI back in the 70's and reported it today. Since Portland is suspiciously close to the Canadian border, I want to be upfront and ask if you had anything to do with the leak? In addition there also have been leaks today re Nader and his sex life....who would have thought? I am not even going to ask if you had anything to do with this one. <g> ted
