Elmer - Re: " YIKES!!! I've been wrong!! AMD was even dumber that I thought!!!" They sure did ! They have had three marginal profits and FIVE LOSSES in the 8 quarters since the K6x's were launched. Re: " They BLEW 860 $$$$$$$MILLION$$$$$$$ so they could position themselves for many many more $$MILLIONS$$ in losses!!! BRILLIANT!!!!!" Yep - their operating PROFITS were $48.7 million and their operating LOSSES were $261.5 MILLION, excluding the SIGNIFICANT LOSSES that the AMD red-bean counters are totalizing right now ! Re: "Hey!! Doesn't this just mean that AMD has even MORE potential!!" Sure. The DEEPER the hole, the higher the potential if they can ever climb out of that hole. Paul
