Utter, fatuous nonsense. AMD's lack of fiscal strength as a result of their decision to move away from their traditional areas of strength (microcontrollers, bipolar, military) in favor of taking on Intel in the PC mainstream market IS on-topic! Who told you that AMD has a lack of fiscal strength? I thought sitting on $1 billion was a sign of strength, not a lack. This will be "the crush" that drives AMD out of business. Are you putting your $$$ where your mouth is? Shorting AMD? Are you banking that 33 years of existence is over? That 33 years of Sanders tenacity is over? That the Athlon will suddenly become a worthless piece of silicon? So when do you plan to cover? National borders are a speed bump on the information highway. Is that quote one of yours or did you steal it? Try telling it to the Afghans wanting to get into Iran. I am sure they will find the humor in it. Have a nice day. ted

Nobody said anything of the sort. Your silly, nonsense jab about gaming was the stupid comment that started this. I said absolutely nothing about Jerry, and I really do not appreciate having you putting words in my mouth. > "Cool our jets in the AMD/Intel discussion" while the AMD > cheerleaders have been bragging for two years about what a > great game machine the Athlon makes?

Good for Intel. But what does that have to do with what I said before? I made absolutely no comments about the prospects of either companies or any products. > Now that little Sid Vicious Who is Sid Vicious? > is being told to forget about the new game machine this > year, AMD is in a world of hurt. AMD does not produce products for gaming consoles. Intel makes processors for the X-Box, though. I do not see what you are trying to suggest. Could you elaborate on your point? -JC
