Don't you know that Intel management lied when they said that they were capacity constrained ? Did not the Great Michael [James Jones] Burke tell you that the media is owned by the Evil Empire of Intel ? You know that the link is a lie,and yet you posted that maliciously. How dare you question the credibility of the Great Michael Burke. If you repeat this infraction you will be forever zapped from cyber space and reduced to a Squashed Bug.

SB, Nope, you are the first. Intel always manages to create a phony shortage of one of its chips around Xmas. They did it last year and the year before, if you remember. Odd, though, that it wasn't the top of the line. Could we be seeing a tad of price resistance on the part of the distributors? Nah! MB

Skeet, the link you posted connects to an article dated January, 1998. What gives? CobaltBlue

Did you follow the link "The Bootnotes of Lou" on the right side of your link to: theregister.co.uk ? From the body of that page: "IBM StinkPads" ,'She said that Intel does not use toilet rolls. "We don't have time to crap at work so have to do it at home under the HomeShi*(r)(tm) programme. If an employee can't wait, they have to send it by email."', and 'Doomed - we're all doomed... If you've been relying on the network experts to keep a lid on your Y2K problems, start worrying now. At time of writing Novell's Y2K information site was claiming "Only 397 days left" while IBM's said "398 days to go."' Maybe this is an old site, but it is new to me. Bookmarked it. Thanks, skeets.
