AMD annoyed...

[Marc Cozzi]

I know they lost a sale of 88 CPU to me. I wanted to wait a bit
to see what SMP plans would develop with AMD. Unfortunately the money
would not wait. Went with Intel. Maybe next time around?

Well they're obviously reading this list since they pounced on our poor
volonteer, so perhaps they're reading this too and will actually
quickly move to 1) save face  2) maintain our interest in AMD as a leader
for processor choice in really cheap but effective Beowulf/supercomputing
solutions.

(I think I dropped enough corporate buzzwords to set their alarms off, no?
:)

[ AMD - in all seriousness, a statement of your position with an EXPLANATION
  would do A LOT to shore up our burgeoning doubts and wild speculation. ]
