So? That isn't what you claimed, or at least implied. To the statement that the buying back of the stock hadn't improved the EPS, you replied that the poster was ignorant and supplied figures to prove his point.
A better reply would have been to state how well Intel has managed to support their EPS in the face of the burst of the Internet bubble. But you chose to state something else, which was false.
Apparently you do. But remember that you are talking to a stone cold Droid who doesn't see the cliff that is coming for AMD inside of the next year, plus or minus.
