For PETE'S SAKE...

It's the semiconductor industry...when the hell COULD Richard resign or be terminated and not have it be within a few months of a "major chip introduction"?!?!?! If it wasn't before Barcelona, it would be before Diego Garcia, if not that, then before Oslo, or Marrakkesh, or Lebanon, or Naples...it's an endless revolving door of new product launches. That's the industry that we love, and one of the reasons we love it.

And the personal comments on Richard's style just blow ANY attempt to construct a logical connection between his departure and AMD's challenges in the industry to shreds. Muckraking journalism at it's very finest, Ashlee...all we know is you, your friends, and friends of your friends don't like Richard...and have been close enough to know how his hands smell in great detail. Not the mental image I need over my coffee this morning.
