Grinch, Re: "So, in your opinion, "competition" means a friendly butt-slapping, nothing more, right?" You need to follow the conversation a little better, it seems. Your first sentence already manages to miss the point completely. I suggest you figure out what the argument is, first, before you open your big mouth and insert your measly $0.02. wbmw

Ali, <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.> It also implies that the company driven out could not adapt and/or diversify, which indicates stagnation. AMD was able to climb out with Athlon and survive. Cyrix didn't have anything close to Athlon or Pentium, so they crumbled. It's called "survival of the fittest." If you want an alternative, try socialism or communism. Tenchusatsu
