Windsock: Given that level of validation, "CPUs" and "state of the art microprocessors" turned by Magee into "Opterons" shows that whatever he "read", he was liberally reinterpreting it. Here is an Athlon XP based HP (Compaq) Evo: "To boost productivity, the HP Compaq nx9005 incorporates the powerful mobile AMD AthlonTM XP-M processor with QuantiSpeedTM architecture. HP Evo Business ..." mynewcheap.co.uk Magee got the microprocessor type wrong. It was Athlon XP mobiles in this case. He heard CPUs and then thought and wrote Opterons, which everyone thinks of when you hear AMD CPUs in 2005 or later, when that wasn't the case. HP sold these in 2002. 160K worth into their business lines. Still no link to the document, redacted or otherwise. And just the one reference. Smells like a mistake. Highly likely it was a mistake. But Mistakes have a tendency to proliferate through blogs and such with hundreds of posts citing that entry and many more not. There have been quite a few examples of this in recent weeks. Thus this is hearsay and rumor versus a party directly involved with a legal right to tell the truth. Facts like 2002, HP, AMD, business lines, Evo, one million CPUs offered for free and 160K CPUs accepted. The 2002 means that it had to be Athlons. Evo means it was commercial (business) laptops and desk tops. The Judge and the Jury would think that the second was credible and the first would be treated with high suspicion being a mistake and a perjury, if deliberate. Pete
