Elmer, Re: Again, the cow says you abused the sheep. The sheep say nothing happened but their testimony is withheld. > Ingr says INTC screwed us. Dell Says Sure, Ya, but INTC told us they'd indemnify. HP says HUH? How'd we get involved? Just by using Intel Product? INTC sez that's easy, you don't have us by the balls so our hearts and minds go elsewhere. Like they did with DEC, CPQ, ACER, SONY and INGR, but they were wrong about the last of them. It's a shame INGR didn't have a big investment, at that time, from Mudabala. But I did pretty well with my Investmentswith INGR. (I was less of a day trader back then.) JIMHO, -tgp

Contradicted by hearsay from people who weren't involved in the negotiations. You are overgeneralizing, in fact practically spouting Intel's PR talking point word-for-word. (Except Intel doesn't call it hearsay, because it's not.) From a series of 2006 Lenovo e-mails: “As you know I have been negotiating a special deal with Intel. The net is that Intel has made us a very attractive offer that we will end up taking. Our part of this deal is that we will award all business of shipments for the rest of this calendar year to Intel. In exchange, Intel will give us a special deal for both [geographical area] and [geographical area]. The deal is worth millions of dollars.” Is this an example of someone not involved in the negotiations? Or do you have some OTHER excuse. Just for fun, let's rearrange the order in which the details of this Intel offer are presented: "As you know I have been negotiating a special deal with Intel. The net is that Intel has made us a very attractive offer that we will end up taking. [] The deal is worth millions of dollars. [] Our part of this deal is that we will award all business of shipments for the rest of this calendar year to Intel." Let the weaseling commence... fpg
