Jim, Based on this post you just sent me, it is painfully evident that you do not work within the high-tech sector. Your statement about IBM selling chips to AMD, and then AMD reselling the chips back to IBM. What the hell are you talking about? Based on the most recent press release from IBM and AMD, it has been spelled out clearly that this is a pure foundry agreement. We give them money, and a mask set, and they give us wafers with etched circuits on them. So you and your spin doctors don't have to speculate about this FOUNDRY arrangement anymore, trying to spin this into bad news. Because it's good news, 0.25um technology, more K6's to sell, more revenue for AMD, and more competition for Intel. Profits
