<We told you so Elmer.> I never disagreed with that point. Just questioned your claim that it was slower than a Pentium 200, but let's not bring that up again (blush). EP

Celeron is created to satisfy the crowd that THINK (or not knowing any better) CPU power has reached a plateau. They thus can purchase Celeron system, which is Slot-I and capable of being upgraded to a more advanced processor later on. On the other hand, people like Time Traveler and most corporate do insist on highest performance computers with the mundane architecture (Windows platform). They then can purchase full Deschutte system, which is again very Slot-I. That leaves out people in between, at least only a very small handful. I am afraid Time Traveler is not convinced that Intel has made a BOO BOO. Time Traveler

<Intel once again made a BOO BOO.> Right. In fact, I think they now realize it. Even if they release a good Celeron in Q4, I think they've damaged the brand name, and they've damaged the Intel Inside moniker too. They were extremely arrogant to think they could get away with a cra* like the Celeron. Of course, Intel recovered from the Pentium bug fiasco (another example of arrogance). I wonder if they will be as lucky this time . . . a friend of mine says you can only fool the American people once - a scandal smear destroyed Gary Hart, but the same trick doesn't work the second time on Clinton (my friend's example, not mine).
