Joey - DRINK UP - It's another success for AMD! Things are getting real "sudsy" with a major committment by Schooner Brewery to the AMD K6 architecture. Here's to ye, mate - let's tip a Schooner! Paul {======================} biz.yahoo.com Monday February 23, 3:41 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release Advanced Micro Devices to Provide AMD-K6 Processors for the Schooner Brewery's 'Net GameLink DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 23, 1998--The Schooner Brewery Incorporated (EBB:SCOB) announced it has accepted an offer from Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NYSE:AMD - news) to use its AMD-K6(R) processor as the backbone computing technology for Schooner's interactive gaming concept known as 'Net GameLink(TM). 'Net GameLink(TM) features interactive Internet gaming as an entertainment concept. Schooner's 'Net GameLink(TM) is believed to be the first combination of the craft brewing industry with interactive Internet gaming. AMD (www.amd.com) will provide and Schooner will use the AMD-K6(R) processors in its 'Net GameLink(TM) Internet gaming kiosks. In exchange for the AMD-K6(R) processors, Schooner will use the AMD logo in promotions and advertising at 'Net GameLink(TM) locations, and on log-on banners and screen savers for each 'Net GameLink(TM) kiosk gamestation. ''AMD is already a solid backer of interactive Internet gaming as shown by its sponsorship of the Professional Gamers League (www.pgl.com.) AMD's act of providing its AMD-K6(R) processors to Schooner's 'Net GameLink(TM) indicates its appreciation and additional backing of the growth potential of interactive Internet gaming. 'Net GameLink(TM) affords AMD an excellent opportunity to demonstrate a new marketing medium for its advanced processors both to the serious gamer and to the everyday PC user,'' said Robert Bragg, who conceived, researched, developed, and presented the 'Net GameLink(TM) concept to The Schooner Brewery Incorporated. ''My communications with the AMD personnel were very helpful and supportive. We are delighted that AMD has offered its advanced AMD-K6(R) processors to exploit our 'Net GameLink(TM) concept, presently in implementation here in Dallas,'' said L. Kelly Jones, president and chief executive officer of Schooner. ''AMD is a recognized leader in interactive Internet gaming, as obviously demonstrated by its title sponsorship of the AMD Professional Gamers League. Schooner's goal is to provide a marketing medium to support the entire gaming community and craft brewing/Internet entertainment centers where the public may also socially interact to enjoy the booming Internet gaming market.'' Schooner, a publicly-held company whose stock has been approved for trading by the OTC-Bulletin Board, was founded in 1996. In mid-1997, it acquired the former Hubcap Brewery & Kitchen of Dallas, which had won a series of awards for its critically-acclaimed brewing products. In September of 1997, Schooner contracted with Connect Computer Solutions of Euless, Texas, for the design and installation of the 'Net GameLink(TM) concept. Connect Computer Solutions will provide the hardware, software, and continuous computer support for the operational 'Net GameLink(TM) stations. Schooner is currently implementing the 'Net GameLink(TM) concept into its Dallas brewpub, with the entertainment concept expected to be available to the public later this year.

Joey had more respect for you than that. I see you decided to be inteloper instead of intel investor. You, as such [inteloper], lost all the sense of reality. I see you also criticizing Tom Kurlak for been down on intel while I remember he was the smartest one on the block (at least in your book) when he was recommending intel. Is not you who said once that the only analysts are out there worth listen to are from SoundView. Well, SoundView does not like intel. Come to think of it intel insiders don't like intel :-)) Would you have enough common decency not to post me again?
