IMHO, he is not a buffoon. I agree with A. A. LaFountain III re:Jerry Sanders is not a buffoon. How anyone who has been able to muster a credible challenge to one of the greatest enterprises ever created gets dismissed so easily is beyond me. I find the monday morning quarterbacking as arrogant as Sanders. I don't want a timid leader in a company that I invest in.

fullon3d.com The following is an interview with the Shuttle Group which has yearly sales over 200$ million US. Shuttle is famous for its Spacewalker line of mainboards. This is my first interview here at FullOn3D (I was formerly at PC One which has merged with FullOn3D). I hope you enjoy it. Please note that my comments are personal responses to the answers to clarify situations. Question Will Shuttle be coming out with products based on alternative chipsets like the Via Apollo Pro Plus or SiS or Ali? What do you feel are the advantages of these alternative chipets over Intel? Answer Shuttle has already introduced several new models based on VIA's Apollo Pro+ chipset, and we will keep up with the latest technology from VIA and SiS such as 133MHz FSB solution. Question Do you plan on releasing a K7 motherboard? What chipset would a K7 motherboard use? Answer As far as we know that AMD's K7 chipset is still in Alpha phase, and other chipset vendors are all behind AMD, so it is really ?Planning? rather than action, a good guess for the product launch should be Q4 '99. Comment Hmm...Q4 '99 seems quite late for a K7 motherboard considering the K7 is supposed to be released at the end of the 2nd quarter of 1999. Maybe suggests some problems with the K7 chipset or the K7 itself?"" =========================================================== I thought the K7 was near production last year...Gee who would have guessed they might run into problems...
