Duncan anybody can see that you're a good man. I've never meant any
disrespect towards anybody on the list despite the times I've stuck my
foot in my mouth. I've only ever tried to step back and look at the big
picture not because I think I'm smarter than anybody else or because I'm
a radical. I just want to be rational, logical, and intelligent without
feeling like I have to cater to the opinions of the "collective" or
else! What Intel did was WRONG and it severely damaged AMD despite AMD's
poor decisions and without AMD we're all screwed as I think an
intelligent man such as yourself can surely see. :-)

Stan,
Thank you. A terse response at best. If you choose to go back channel,
I think you will find my addy in the header. I answer it privately.
I do not mean to start a fight. I mentioned that you seem to be an
AMD-focused person. FINE.
We all have 2 (or more) choices available.
I do what the collective seems to "feel" is a best choice. Pardon me
for choosing incorrectly..
Run whatcha brung! Whatever.
Best,
Duncan

I think I understand why you took this particular time to mention
these things Duncan. I have no idea why my email is arriving with the
[Bulk] whatever and have no idea why you would find that irritating
nor why you think I'm being clandestine considering my name is Stan
Zaske and it's not an alias. In stead of being passive/aggressive why
don't you tell me what you are really feeling and we can discuss it
like gentlemen on the back channel. Perhaps you think I was being
unfair by criticizing Intel for it's illegal activities hence the
fanboy accusation. Perhaps you think I was being unfair in what
maccrowj said. I thought I was being factual without any personal
attack upon anybody. :-)

have independently concluded that Intel bribed manufacturers to
freeze out AMD in their distribution networks with so-called
rebates and to delay the release of AMD based products. AMD didn't
make crappy PC's with their products.
[just your opinion. Info here in the SE is that most of the returns
are AMD.]
They made some missteps along the way (Phenom I) as Intel did
(Netburst) but AMD didn't attempt to bribe manufacturers to give
preference to their products. Intel did and next March we're going
to see Intel get spanked again in US court this time. The Ati
division of AMD makes excellent GPU's and I predict that nVidia is
going to have a rude awakening in the 4th quarter when DX11 high
performance cards come out.
[Clearly your opinion! My last 6 months with ATI video cards leaves
me to beg the HWG for suggestions to go back to nVidia. Yes, ATI
may eventually catch up. Right now, today, I am still watching; and
converting back to nVidia as fast as I can($)]
Larrabee is going to get spanked by both camps when Intel realizes
that using x86 to make a video card is another netburst dead end. ;-)
I do accept that UR an AMD fan-boy. Very strong. Fine. Suspected
this 5 yrs ago. Now confirmed.
OK. Perhaps I might be wimpy. Acceptable. I started way back when
with Intel (IP266). Now, I am coming back to Intel just because it
seems to me [?] that planet Earth is also moving Intel. You have
every right to just label me a whore..........on the other
side.......... :)
No problemo!

I say "look at all the crappy PC's that could have been made with
AMD chips these past 5 years (and some have been)! It's not been
good for AMD these past ~5 years and it has a more to do with AMD
than Intel, just look at them fraking up ATI.

Yeah, Intel has been in the news a lot lately and their poor
decisions are costing them dearly. Japan, Korea and now the EU
have concluded that they are anti-competitive. Next year I
believe AMD will get their shot in court and I predict that Intel
will again be held accountable. Imagine all the money that AMD
lost over the past 5 years because of Intel's bribes to PC
makers. Beginning to look like the GM of the semiconductor world
minus the threat of bankruptcy of course.
