The thing is, I don't think many people were that enthusiastic about AMD roughly 13 months ago - that's why the stock was at $3.
Only the really fanatical, thoughtless AMDroids were blindly loyal enough to buy in at $3. We are lucky that so many here--you among them--want to save us from similar mistakes by offering objectivity and balance.
Had those fools who bought in at 3 only listened, they would have understood that SOI was unworkable, that Hammer was unproduceable, that Quantispeed was part of an elaborate Satanic conspiracy, that Jerry Sanders lights his cigars with AMD stock certificates, that Athlons randomly burst into flames, that AMD chips were inherently unstable and would never be considered by 1st tier server vendors...
Too late now for them.
