Elmer, <All AMD has been able to do is show a K7 system running DVD Godzilla in software.> Do you realize the meaning of what you just have said? You must be a cretin! If a system is capable to do a DVD playback in software with all uninterrupted data streams and intensive calculations, it can do anything! The MPEG is the most challenging system task as for today! And all this on a first silicon of processor, first north bridge, south bridge, and a first mainboard! Is this just "all" for you? Do you know a better task for a public demo, Elmer? Maybe you are suggesting a blank console window in NT for two hours when running a SPEC95, and then show to public a tiny number that can be generated from any script output? The smooth-running movie is the best proof of system functionality, you can't fake it out. Dont dissemble yourself, Elmer Simpson-Phud! You disseminated lies about AMD engineers "jumping the ship". Maybe you did not lie? You probably meant the opposite direction of jumps, "in"? You have failed on all 6 counts from the Maxwell's list but still have an impudence to open your mouth again, without any arguments! As a dismissed AMD employee, you just disgust AMD investors. Sorry to touch your sensitive spot, but your loser's mentality will be always with you, forever. You will die with it...
