All I have said is that I do work for Intel and that I am under non disclosure. Let me say here for the first time that part of my income is derived from the work I perform for Intel. My point was that working for Intel implies a certain familiarity that the rest of us would not have........sorry if I used the wrong terminology in describing your arrangement with them. #2 Seeing as I am not a process expert, I simply used the wrong term. I'm human and I made a mistake. Granted you are human, but you spoke as if you knew what you were talking about. How was I supposed to know that that wasn't true.#3 Your point all along has been that you didn't have a clue what Intel was talking about, so you just assumed that everything that happens in the world is an effect of Hammer, so this must be too.... You didn't bother to read any of the many articles published on the breakthrough or you wouldn't have made those embarrassing comments. Go back and read my post......the one that was posted with the article; the article that initiated the exchange in the first place. In that article, there was only a passing mention of strained silicon. In fact, strained silicon was not the focus of the article, 90 nm processing was. Subsequently, you cleverly [or so you thought] tried to make it the point in order to cover your rude gaffe. Please don't attempt to make yourself look all knowing at my expense. Its very clear you make things up as you go along, hoping that no one will catch on........well, sorry Charlie. Have a good one! ted
