Spaarky - Thanks. I forgot all the years that the AMD board was voted in the top 10 worst BODs. It's another example of the mentally unhealthy view of those who will believe without question the claims of such a discredited company. Much like the battered wife syndrome, the more they were lied to, the more they believed the next lie, while so effortless believing every bad accusation against one of the most upstanding companies in America. It's a pathology that should be studied. Robert Noyce would have been awarded the Nobel Prize, had he lived. Gordon Moore is a legend. Andy Grove is considered one of America's Managerial Geniuses. How do Jerry Sanders and Hector Ruiz stack up compared to these giants? Their legacy is one of sleaze. Anyone who can explain the AMD Fanboy syndrome could win a Nobel as well. Let us hope that Rory's presence will bring a breath of fresh air to this company. I must say, I've seen nothing to criticize him for.
