John , re. AMD not mastering .35 therefore even further behind on .25 First , I am hearing rumours which indicate both the .35 and the .25 are doing well on ramp up . Second , the price and availability of the K6-233 would seem to confirm that . Third , there are a lot smarter people out there than either you or Yousef , that have a totally different view of AMD's capabilities in Wafer processing . To quote one source that appeared in BW "Wafer Fabrication has always been AMD's strong point". Fourth , all the bad news in the past has been discounted in the stock price as it usually is at this time of the year . Fifth , have you ever seen bungey jumping ? Brian PS to understand my question , take a look at a monthly chart of AMD .
