Dave It was him, last night I copied both posts from Yahoo and then e mailed them to his editor's e-mail address at their site and asked for a comment which I got this morning.

I just got this from the editor of Electronic News, in reply to my offer to him..to post anything further about the IBM news issue.. --------------------------------------------------- Dealing with these bulletin boards has just about wore me out. Our editors logger on yesterday to stop the FUD when we saw incorrect versions of our story circulating. What I didn't realize is that these guys don't want the truth, they would rather delude themselves and others. For the record: Electronic News stands by its story that IBM will use PC 133 SDRAM instead of Rambus DRAMs for its next generation of PCs and that IBM is negotiating to sell its brand new Rambus testing equipment and related intellectual property to Taiwan's nan ya corp. EN also stands by its on the record analyst viewpoints that the moves by IBM indicate weakening in its support for Rambus. EN also stands by its report of at least two off the record interviews with analysts and sources that had been specifically briefed by IBM on the details of its intentions. EN deplores IBM's tactic of criticizing our article by releasing statements that deny points that were not made in our article. EN would like state that IBM and Rambus were given the opportunity to confirm or deny this story in the middle of last week and both declined to do so. Furthermore, neither IBM nor Rambus have contacted Electronic News to deny any portion of our story or to ask for a correction or clarification, despite repeated requests this week for them to do so. The reason is simple: the story is correct in word and fact, only the implications are up to interpretation. IBM and Rambus have decided to inject FUD into the market by accusing us of doing the same. They have declined to discuss the story point by point because it would result in the inevitable confirmation of the story unless they were disingenuous. We'll still be here next week with the follow on story. HGW Editor in Chief EN
