<If FUNDAMENTALLY DISHONEST is good for the President of the United States, it should be OK for a marketing campaign.> Careful what you say here, comparing ole President Pinnochio with a marketing campaign. Merlo already thinks that because the president of the last remaining superpower can lie under oath and get away with it, AMD's Investor Relations should be allowed to do the same. The only difference is in the polls. Clinton is still very popular. AMD stock isn't, except for the consumers who enjoy it when AMD acts like a non-profit organization. Tenchusatsu

Paul, If FUNDAMENTALLY DISHONEST is good for the President of the United States, it should be OK for a marketing campaign. When President Reagan told the country he could cut taxes, increase spending, and balance the budget (against the very strong advice of his budget director David Stockman) was it the right thing to do? We accumulated several trillion dollars worth of debt, and we now pay several hundred billion dollars of interest payments a year as a result of his lie. Scumbria
