WBMW, I'm sure if I sell lemonade for 10c a cup, and someone else starts selling lemonade up the street for 5c a cup, I could always conclude that the other guy is trying to "terminate" me. Prove me wrong. ;-) Tenchusatsu

Wanda, "They aren't disagreeing that Intel launched a Celeron at a lower price to compete in the sub-$1000 space; rather, they are arguing against your attempt to prove that it was a competitive tactic to force AMD out of the market." So, in your opinion, "competition" means a friendly butt-slapping, nothing more, right? com·pe·ti·tion (kmp-tshn) n. Rivalry between two or more businesses striving for the same customer or market. FYI: strive To exert much effort or energy; endeavor. To struggle or fight forcefully; contend: strive against injustice. ------------------ At the time, the only segment where AMD had a competitive product was the sub-$1000 segment. Intel was not a player at all in this segment, AMD and Cyrix created it because they were forced out of main PC segment by Intel. (BTW, I do not recall Intel "striving" in any segment.) Aggressively entering a sub-$1000 segment with subsided product means one thing - to capture the segment. Which means to drive other players out of the segment. If a competing company has no other significant products, this automatically implies the intent to drive it out of CPU market, and possibly out of business. Can you spell "Cyrix"? This is simply pathetic how you guys cannot link more than one thought together. - Ali
