McPanic - Re: "f Andy Groves' directive on handling the European press. Read all about it on the 4 links at the bottom of this page. Go Andy go...manipulate that European press.<G> " What was described sounds like an excellent procedure/guide-line for dealing with the Media in European countries. No mention - not even a suggestion - of manipulation was evident. My guess is that you are feeling hurt since AMD gets such poor - if any - coverage except when it leaks its own hype. Paul

<Check this out. Seems Intel is after Tom for calling out Intel on the Dixon and the Register got a hold of Andy Groves' directive on handling the European press. Read all about it on the 4 links at the bottom of this page. Go Andy go...manipulate that European press.> Given that The Register is a great place for shoddy, tabloid journalism and the first source for British anti-Intel sentiment, I wrote Tom an angry e-mail. Journalism like this, which usually starts with "According to confidential documents obtained by The Register" is pretty yellow-bellied. We don't get to see what those documents actually say, only what The Register interprets them to say. Tom wrote back to me asking me not to get angry, nor to take the links seriously. The Intel PR guy that normally talks to him says that the documents do exist, but they are over five years old and no one in Intel PR really pays attention to them. I personally doubt that the documents are worded to perpetuate European stereotypes, but that's what The YUK Register (™Paul Engel) said. Tenchusatsu
