Hey - Jerry Sanders is the CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD that stood up in front of his shareholders about 5 years ago and said "OUR 486 DOES NOT USE ANY INTEL MICROCODE".

First , Intel sued him and WON.

Second, the AMD SHAREHOLDERS sued him and WON !

Check the AMD financials - you'll see about $11,000,000 (or thereabouts) missing from the balance sheet in 1995.

Oh - wouldn' it be UTTERLY RIDICULOUS for the Chairman of the Board of AMD to say on January 14 that MARGINs would IMPROVE to 40% in the next quarter....then two weeks later announce an IMPENDING LOSS DUE TO DECREASING MARGINS ?

Who do you think is running AMD - Cinderella ?
