Priest: <<That implies that you and your fellow FAB 25 co-workers haven't reached the level of "Monkey Level Learning" yet. And maybe never will.>> People evolve from "monkey level" to intelligent level. Are you saying that you have never progressed beyond monkey level? Now I know why Intel design level is still monkey level: 1) Pentium Pro (copied from DEC) 2) Pentium Pro core with external L2= PII 3) PII without L2= Celeron 4) Celeron with 128K integrated L2=CeleronA 5) PII with full speed L2=Xeon 6) PII with 3D=Katmai 7) CeleronA with 256K=???? 8) PII on 0.18=Coppermine 9) PII with 256K=Coppermine 10) Coppermine with fulll speed L2=Tanner The only thing that is evolving is the name. At least the marketing people are evolving. Maxwell BTW: There was an article on Barrett. He is looking for a new law named after him. I'll give him a suggestion. Gordon Moore= Moore Law Andy Grove=Only the Paranoids Survive Barrette Law= "If You Can't Beat Them Copy Exact Them" (finally got out from denial that sub-1000 never existed to joining AMD/Cyrix in proliferating the sub-1000 market). This is great because technology is finally progressing once again.
