Elmer - Re: " From a business standpoint, AMD is proving it can't compete. Should we declare that if all companies had an equal chance all would produce equal results and thereby measure equality by results alone? Should we have an affirmative action plan for AMD? Should we level the playing field to guarantee AMD wins it's "fair share" by denying Intel their's? Is Intel's success by definition it's own wrongdoing? Is there no chance that AMD could have gotten where they are by incompetence alone, and therefore they simply must be the victiums of something? Do you feel their pain? " Excellent arguments. AMD is one tenth the size of Intel because AMD has been been lucky. They sure haven't produced any significant profits in over 3 years. Paul
