Elmer, Re: "Jerry has done as good a job of sabotaging AMD as any Intel "plant" could possibly have done." While all the time getting his stock options "re-priced" ... It always amazes me to hear people defend Jerry on this thread. Make It So, Yousef

Scene: San Jose 1969; Dramatis personae: Robert Noise, Jerry Sounders Noise: Gordon and I plan to make this company the top electronics firm in the world. Sounders: (Licking his chops) You mean .... a monopoly? Noise: You've got it. We're going to gobble up everything that will be gobbled and crush anything that won't. Sounders: And my role ...? Noise: You've got a tough job .. you've got to start a company to "compete" with Intel-- don't worry, we'll let you second source us -- but you will always lose the battles, live it up, make make an ass of yourself.. act like a clown .. but make it look like we have competition to keep the DOJ off our backs. Sounders: But how can I compete -- my stock won't do anything and my options won't attract anyone smart. Noise: You can buy up people from the wrecks when we're through wrecking them. Sounders: And you won't let me work for you ... Noise: No way, you're just too big an ass to lead a high-performance outfit.
