David, These IR departments have to tread with care. They cannot reveal anything new to you....unless they tell the world through the news dissemination channels the SEC mandates for news releases. They can answer mundane questions, whose answers can be gleaned from publicly available data, but no 'news' will ever come from them. You would be better off posting your questions here for an answer, one you are far more likely to get. Bill

I received a call from Mike at AMD investor relations today. He apologized for the failure to respond to my email messages; evidently my subject line tickled some junk-mail reduction heuristic and deposited my messages in a folder where they wouldn't be seen by human eyes. We had a pleasant conversation about the preparations for rolling out hammer products, and he made note of my suggestion to keep the *BSD and open source database groups in the loop. So, I rescind my preceding complaints; it was just an unfortunate fluke. Mike recommends that shareholder inquiry messages should have something like "shareholder inquiry" in the subject line.
