RE:"You have a way of inviting skepticism." I do that on purpose. These BBs are all about discussion. Tony used to call some boards, pom pom. As in..."yes,we all agree" boards. I would be very dissappointed if someone didn't take issue with what you say. That the way Paul is too. He gets a kick out of it too. RE:"Mr. Barrett, on the other hand, has managed to spend shareholder profits on marginally profitable companies, and then turn them into total losers. To the point where his crack decisions have about turned Intel, with the second greatest technology franchise in history, to a profit deficit. I suppose as super-Droid you would like Barrett better." ---- I didn't say Barrett was a saint either. He's over-reacted. Might even be a casualty of the Peter principal. OTOH, given where Intel was a year and 9 months ago, they have done a decent job scramblin' w/smoke and mirrors to repair a lot of the damage Grove left them with. I'm very impressed. AMD, OTOH, seemed to have go off to Vegas with that bonus they gave out a while back and didn't keep the pressure on...resulting in costly delays. One thing for sure, all the head honchos are overpaid at this time. Jim
