>Brick wall - six months out...gee - just yesterday, you claimed the Pentium 4 already hit a brick wall !!< Well, we once build a snow fort at the bottom of a hill, then rode our sleds into it until we broke through. If you hit a wall enough times, a break through sometimes happens. >For a CPU that you and Sanders consider a "dud", you guys show a morbid fear by having to attack it and 'diss' it at every turn.< As it turns out, my brother Dana ended up with a bloody lip from hitting his head on the snow of the fort when he finally broke through. Fortunately, nobody was behind the fort at the time or there would have been collateral damage. I think Sanders and the Droids (good name for a punk rock band) fear collateral damage because Intel isn't bothering to tell them were the wall is.

Paul: "Brick wall - six months out...gee - just yesterday, you claimed the Pentium 4 already hit a brick wall !!" P4 hasn't lived up to its hype to be sure...but Dell has committed to aggressively push P4 in q3...Look out below if the $$$ push by the dynamic duo (Dell/INTC) results in mediocre or less results over the next 6 months...Best case scenario for P4 might be modest acceptance even when marketed at loss leader pricing...Huge roll of the dice for INTC, and Dell, it seems over the next 6 months! If P4 doesn't fly real soon, INTC likely gets "Nortel"ed if indeed INTC escapes being "Nortel"ed on Wednesday, if posting a negative surprise on Tuesday!
