Rob - RE: "Intel probably has a copyright on the periodic table, they applied for patents on the quadratic equation, the area of a circle and the volume of a sphere but somebody tipped off the patent office before they could rubber stamp it."

VERY funny, and probably true!

I wonder if they wasted their money applying for a patent for the original Pentium's FPU ERRATUM? Imagine how much money they could have made licensing it!

Rod,

Re: "BTW, there was a thread called AMD for Picknicking Wits; whatever happened
to that?"

Rod, The AMD "Nitwit" thread "moderator" (Brian Hutcheson) is nowhere
to be found ... I'm beginning to worry about him and Maxwell.

Make It So,
Yousef
