<<As I remember from about sixth grade(just a bit over eight weeks ago), a thousand times a thousand is a million, so the total swindle might have been worth $650K. Our gullible writer unblinkingly told us each of those Pentium IIs was worth several thousand bucks.>> Samuel, I guess we were in the same class ;) I think its interesting tho that this type of press is hitting the wires more and more. Almost make me think that ole INTEL has refocused some of it's 1B marketing budget to spread a little more FUD.

Reminds one of the backyard mechanic tweaking his car with certain gofast mods after the smog inspection. Still the same make and model just hotted up a bit. Seems this would be called "yankee ingenuity" in other eras. The head threads at mother iNTEL would do well to reign in the grey suits from this one, and focus their efforts in more productive areas. Its not even $650K, since they actually couped the gross on the obsolete stuff down the cash flow stream, more like $400K I suppose or about one year's gross for a single grey suit ( salary+perks+overhead ) bfd for the "world's largest whatever". We miss your clarity of vision Andy.
