Re: "You are wrong Elmer. "

Now if I asked you to prove it, would you give me the same kind of proof you give about the K7?

Not smarter than them, just smarter than you.

Maxwell, RE: Later they restated "it wasn't likely to cause a problem more than once every 25,ooo years for an average user" after people raised hell.

Yes, I believe that is what happened. After INTC stated the problem wouldn't occur more than once every 25,000 years, IBM jumped into the fray and demonstrated the problem could occur on certain spreadsheet calculations. IBM had a vested interest at that time in causing INTC some pain.
