Re: "came to me and started extolling virtues of a P4 system. He was not wearing a salesperson uniform, so I asked him were did he get his information from. He became, a little uncomfortable and told me that there were 4 guys like him, on Intel's payroll who patrol the major Portland area retailers, mingle with customers and push P4 systems"

I ran into those guys at the Portland COSTCO - writing dates on the corners of the HP Pentium 4 boxes on the floor !!!!

I asked one guy who he was and he said "Kapkan4u" !!

kap,

re: He became, a little uncomfortable and told me that there were 4 guys like him, on Intel's payroll who patrol the major Portland area retailers, mingle with customers and push P4 systems.

Those folks are called sales representatives. Another new insidious concept from the Evil Empire.

kap, re: <Intel-paid P4-extollers at retailers> LOL! AMD could do this a lot cheaper than Intel. There's enough AMD geeks around to just offer them a free CPU for a few dozen hours of Athlon-extolling/customer-mingling.
