Oh dear. Can't you recognize a deliberate exaggeration? Stop trashing the messenger, and deal with the content, please.

You know, I would think that as an Intel partisan and investor, you would be happy to see Intel waking up to the fact that they need to deliver a 64b x86-based product. Why the emotional attachment to Itanium?

I hope she is said 'trillion' in the British sense because
otherwise she would be as obviously clueless as well as
innumerate

Speaking of innumerate, a British 'trillion' in the old sense is 10^18, not an American 'billion'.

I doubt you meant to imply Intel has wasted quite that much on Itanium, but who knows?

Which brings us to the next Intel Developer Forum in mid-February where Intel is going to give a Yamhill technology demonstration, although it could be jeopardizing the 64-bit Itanium chip that cost a trillion dollars to get to market, and is only selling modestly.

I hope she is said 'trillion' in the British sense because
otherwise she would be as obviously clueless as well as
innumerate as if she had said a gazillion dollars.

But on the other hand Doug said she "KNOWS" what she is
talking about. :-P

The lady in question was online when I was using a 300 buad modem and Mosaic.
