UGH, ok I was hoping I wouldnt have to explain the joke so soon.

Laser scriber= device with which the little words are burned onto the core of a finished cpu chip.

the guy who started the post misspelt athlon, atholon.

Get it now?

Remember when they built that plant and nearly everyone said the cost would break them? When they were sued by investors for mismanagement for building that plant, the CEO resigned under the pressure, and they were forced to licence out manufacturing capacity to Motorola in order to justify it's size? How everyone said they would never need a plant that big? How the Athlon was supposed to have crapped out by now leaving them without a viable product? How the copper interconnect technology was a waste of money? Hmm. Meanwhile I told everyone and their brother to buy at 16, it dropped to 14, then rebounded to like 80 or something. Then it split, giving everyone twice as many shares, each of which is still worth twice as much as a share was back then. No one listened, my father had 76k of investment capital in stocks and did not convert one. He put his money on S3 and sold during the worst drop in history. His broker told him to do that. I didn't have enough money to even open an account!
