Mike, your website looks great! What's your opinion of the "2 GHz P4 in late May" story?

That was quite a scoop, Mike. If you check my later posts on the topic, you'll see that plenty of others followed up on your story. It still seems hard to believe, but with that many sources leaking, there must be something big in the offing. And I'm still confused by why Intel would want to announce a chip one week, then announce a 50% price cut on it a week later.

"Old" wasn't meant to be taken quite literally there either. More in the sense of this definition, from dictionary.cambridge.org (pardon the excessive familiarity, though):

old (VERY FAMILIAR) adjective [before n]
(esp. of a friend) known for a long time
She's one of my oldest friends - we met at school.

(informal) Old can also be used before someone's name when you are referring to or addressing
them, as a way of showing that you know them well and like them.
There's old Sara working away in the corner.
I hear poor old Frank's lost his job.
