Ten,

And to think that over a year ago, I paid $400 (if I remember correctly) for a boxed Pentium II 266, and that was through the employee purchase plan.

The moral of the story is: Don't buy an expensive CPU from Intel. ;^)

Good tale on the Cellery Sandwich. I've been thinking that at these prices I should build a couple of Celeron computers in the near future for friends.

If any of the AMD employees can afford to be a full time stock trader they certainly have more time on their hands than I do at work. I keep the quicken.com site up with my portfolio, on my pc, but it is mostly on screen saver(15 minute delay) as I work at the HP workstation in UNIX. I'm lucky to get 1/2 hour during lunch to fiddle with stocks.
