scAMDria - Re: "nothing would make Mr. Pfeiffer happier than replacing those systems with Compaq's own Alpha and K7 boxes. " Nope. Pfeiffer remembers 1994 and 1995 and AMD and the K5. Compaq got burned BIG TIME by dumping Intel and switching to AMD. Don't forget - Compaq has a Chairman - Ben Rosen - who keeps "5er" in line these days. Paul

Scum, the Article posted by kash published by Mercury New reporter Tom Quinlan, deserves a pulitizer nomination. He paints Intel as a modern day corporate dictatorship, Lead by a perinoid Central European, who used restrain of trade, fear tactics, threats money and power to selectivly economicly punish and company which dared to break rank in Intel plot to dominate and control the PC market. Where in World History have we hear this senario before. How could Grove have used the same tactics used by the Natzi's which he himself was pursequited under during his youth, here in our own free country? Unless there is some mistake every Intel stockholder should be ashamed to be inextrictably financialy linked to this untolerable unethical business behavior. Has ethical behavior in The USA Business Community become abandoned concept replaced by greed, win at any cost no matter how many personal lives or household fortunes lay in the carnage of such actions and practices? So far one Alabama Federal Judge Edwin Nelson has rules against Intel in favor of Intergraph Computer corp in a monoply suit. So far Intel has managed to keep the adverse court decision quiet. the outcome of the Federal case against Intel may face graver consequences. this was the best article on Intels monoplistic practices to hit the media a salute the author for his courage. Recently the American Civil Liberties Union, an organization which has a history of righting wrongdo'ers took Intel to task suggesting a boycott against Intel for implanting a ID code into Intel chips, placing Intel in a PR feascle. Perhaps the ACLU should consider if it has chosen to focusing on the wrong issue, while a more important one goes unanswered.
