I don't eat processor chips -- there is very little to distinguish the taste between the two. AMD chips get the job done and if I can save few bucks on my next PC by getting an AMD chip in the machine, I will. You analogy is plain silly. Remember people said the same thing about IBM PCs ... is your PC an IBM?

Mary, Wait a second. Before the story was a rumor and now it doesn't matter because the boxes are sold in Japan? Consistency, Mary, consistency. Isn't Intel the co. touting resurgence of sales in Japan as one reason they could flim flam the last quarter? BTW, your analogy was awful. Have you checked out the sad fundamentals at Coke and Pepsi lately? Do you wish the same for Intel? <G> Actually, it is the Intel bulls who believe any bull the co. spews. They wuv their sneaky wittle co. no matter how much market share they lose or how much their margins collapse due to price wars, or how much they mislead their shareholders with half truths like "the consumer market is still growing." I guess love is blind. And deaf. And has lost its sense of touch. And certainly doesn't apply the smell test to co. pronouncements. We know it has no taste. <G> MB
