Maverick: Re: "When you're going to post numbers only about half of the consensus estimate, you've got to give a heads up," said Ashok Kumar, PC hardware analyst for Piper Jaffray. "It's going to take a long time to rebuild investor confidence." ROFL Obviously the man knows nothing about AMD's history of downside surprises. Since the last major (not preannounced) downside surprises happened as recently as 1997 I would say it will take less than 18 months to "rebuild investor confidence" (i.e. lure in another batch of gullible investors and analysts). -Ritz
