Oh, what an interesting anecdote Sonny! Too bad Elmer has argued that: A) AMD was profiting thanks to their "superior", "better", "cheaper" products, B) DELL "made a mistake" in staying Intel-exclusive during "the design cycle", allowing their competitors to take business from DELL using the highly-demanded AMD platform, which they DID choose after looking at all the same factors as DELL. (Well, almost all.) Guess the competitors who were taking DELL's market share weren't as worried about their "reputations." fpg
