WOW Dan IBM actually has the World's 1st copper based CPU INTC is at least two years away from its Merced CPU , but IBM has a operational copper based 400 MZ PowerPC prototype : zdnet.com On 3/17/98 AAPL's Steve Jobs will demo it at Seybold in NYC: " As part of his keynote address, Apple Computer Inc. interim CEO Steve Jobs will demonstrate a Macintosh with a prototype 400MHz copper PowerPC chip inside, according to sources. The copper chip is a semiconductor breakthrough for its developer, IBM Microelectronics Division. " Now Dan instead of shorting IBM , margin it and buy some AAPL . Regards, Jim K.

Your reply is confusing and contradictory. Spreading unverifiable, negative rumors is very damaging to both IBM and your own credibility. If the reports are genuine, there is no possible harm in citing the source (at least the name of the newspaper you referred to). If, however, the reports don't exist and you are making up things (including where you work), possibly because you have shorted the stock, then your actions make sense to me. A review of your prior posts on this thread show a long history of spreading questionable information. You'll have zero credibility until you can cite your sources. Chip
