Chuck, You know that I very much respect your opinion on matters AMD related, but I completely fail to see what impressed you about Gore speech. Gore lost the 1st count, 2nd count, he is still behind after 1 county hand recount, he is about to lose overseas ballots. Now with his back against the wall about to lose it all, the time is running out, he offers to play the whole counting game over to determine who the real winner is. Not only he didn't put anything online, and ask Bush to put everything online, he actually sneakily slipped in 1 county to his recount condition that is officially off the table (Dade). Gore is a desperate man at this hour trying desperate measures, anything to delay or reverse the inevitable. Joe

Charles, RE:'Americans on average are not anywhere close to being as partisan as the activity on this thread indicates. What happened today will very likely make people think Bush is playing this unfairly and could even be offensive to some people's sensitivities. Bush should have accepted the proposal for full manual recount and would have looked like a leader. I see people seeing this as if Gore took the high road. Now Bush looks like someone who lacks popular vote and trying to steal election using his brother and highly partisan secratary of state. Ignoring the legalities of the issue (which I have no idea favor Bush or not), this was a terrible PR move anyway one looks at it." --- You've fallen for Gores ploy. He tried the same thing in his campaign with Bradley, trying to get him to agree on money and advertisements. With Gore it's like he lost a coin flip or a bet, then says, how about best 2 out of 3? When he loses that, he says' hey, how about best 3 out of 5? 4 out of 7? They had the count, the recount, Dade and Broward originally rejected the hand recount and Palm Beach county made up the rules for chads as they went along. Really, what does Gore have to lose by changing the rules of the game until he wins or exhausts everyone. I think the Sec. of State flly expects to have her ruling questioned. Jim

Chuck - RE: "I think the story is critically flawed. I do not think the delay is being caused by the infrastructure problems. Yes, there are no integrated graphics chipsets for Mobile Athlons yet but there are other non-integrated chipsets available." (I'm replying on this thread because some members on the other thread are getting excessively annoying. Look at the reply you got today calling you an Intelabee! Ugh.) Whatever the issue is, whether or not infrastructure, this upcoming mobile "launch" looks like it will stink. Combined with my increasing concern over Hector Ruiz's management qualities and being in a depressed market, I've decided to take advantage of cheap stock prices by, more than likely, completely getting out of AMD. I'm a small, undiversified investor so I figure now is a good time to get into something different. I sold some today and on Monday will more than likely sell the rest. (Not that it is much, I'm one of the smallest investors on the thread I bet). I'm waiting until Monday in case magic occurs and the launch looks good.
