Comb, before you lend any more credence to their efforts to portray the free chips as unattractive due to quality or novelty...

In the end, the computer manufacturer took only 160,000 CPUs for free.

...They liked the chips...

...They sank the engineering costs...

Let them explain why 160K free chips was better than 1M free chips.
