John, re: real Dunlap or "virtual"?

Thanks for the URL. I watched both clips. On the FTC clip I was struck that the primary effect is that the FTC & DOJ are getting quite a "forced" education about technology. This effort promises to bring them kicking and screaming into the modern era. It was obvious that these guys are having to actually learn something about PC's and operating systems. This is good!

As for the case, it's VERY strange and takes considerable imagination to see how antitrust law applies to the facts of these squabbles. The second more important point - this action seems to be inconsequential. The potential remedy will have about zero impact on Intel or its customers. The "victim" will be the law, as it will be mauled in meaning by the decision.

Now - about the Dunlap clip. Geez - the guy was as stiff as Al Gore! Was this the real Dunlap or a virtual Dunlap model generated by a new Pentium 400? Myself I couldn't tell one way or the other :)
