Steve - re: " MOT's soul purpose in life seems to be the same as AMD's. " Both AMD and Motorola have performed incredibly POORLY, carrying out their vendettas against Intel which beat them both pretty badly. Their management should be removed and replaced for squandering shareholder equity and resources in carrying out vendettas instead of improving their company's products and market position. Now, both companies are weakened financially and are not in a very good position to challenge Intel. Paul

Steve, Re:MOT's soul purpose in life seems to be the same as AMD's. Yeah losses. <gg> Just kidding. Seriously, MOT and AMD might have a stronger partnership. IBM seemed to have a take it or leave it attitude towards NSM. So maybe MOT will be a key factor in helping AMD become profitable. btw: I have a question. A while back I believe you said HWP's technical support was less than impressive (to put it mildly). Has this changed? What do you think of HWP server and workstation line. I am thinking about buying more HWP if it drops below 50. I think its a buy at this level. Dale

Steve: You wrote <MOT has a long standing score with INTC to settle, and they have been hell bent on settling it from day one. If you don't believe me, ask anyone here. Settling scores in business is NUTS!(IMHO) Joint process development, improvement of weak corporate areas, etc. merit spending money. Getting even doesn't, IMHO. MOT has enough problems hanging onto what limited cell phone & other IC business they have left without trying to take on INTC @ CPU development AMD has some great cell phone products(mostly in memory, but also in switching & analog-digital) to trade for CPU & process development- & I guess they also have some process data MOT would like. If MOT is indeed out to "settle a score with INTC" I would view it as a grave negative for MOT & AMD. If they both have as an objective "taking market share from INTC & other IC companies throughout the world by honest competition" I would view that activity as strongly npositive for both companies. tgptndr
