Technology Stocks : Advanced Micro Devices - Moderated (AMD) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Ed,

Would you consider taking over as thread moderator if Mani were willing to relinquish that status? Just a thought. Mani?

There is a lot of ramblings about technology, the business of the company, more than about the stock itself. How much can you talk about the stock? "Gee, it went down 3/8", or "Come on baby, another 1/16".

I don't think that you can find another thread that is more on topic than this one, and I think Mani does a great job stepping in when the threads is getting out of hand, letting it go when there was no reason to interfere.

As far as Paul pointing out the negatives, well, someone has to do it. It would be naive to ignore the screw-ups of the 760 and 760 MP chipsets, delays of Palomino, even the non-existence of parts hardwired for 133 MHz FSB.

Without these delays and screw-ups, of the last 3 months, Intel would again be looking at the tail lights of Jerry's limo, rather than being in a horse race and price war again.

PS: to my last post:

I think JC has his hands full moderating his own BBS. It looks like it's out of control again.

Huh? I don't remember telling anybody specifically whom I have on ignore! *_*

I'm a wuss, too. And I cave in at the slightest insult (I even cannot bear seeing other people being insulted, which is why that one fellow is on ignore).

Additionally, while I think I'd be *capable* of throwing any of my biases away for the purpose of moderation, I also think that I would have to quit my job in order to do it properly, and I'm not yet ready to do that.
