Anybody here read Inside Intel?? How does Grove come across in that book? Intel comes across as a sleazy company, Grove as a workaholic sleazebag. Neil.

TWY, Re: <Anybody here read Inside Intel?? How does Grove come across in that book?> Page 81 To make matters worse, Grove had a strong tongue. For Noyce and Moore, both brought up in God-fearing households where cursing was very much frowned upon, it was little more than a tease when Grove would get up from the meeting table and announce his intention to "go for a piss." But Graham's resentment burned red-hot when Grove would tell him day after day that he was a "stupid sonofabitch" or a "bastard" or a "dumb shit" . . He told Grove that if the drivers and the memory chip would not work together across the memory chip's full temperature range, then the data sheets would simply have to be frank about the narrower temperature range in which they worked. Grove disagreed. Few customers would care about the issue, he said, since their computers were already adequately air-conditioned and they would be unlikely to test the performance of the Intel parts... But all really should read the book... tgptndr
