I used to recommend that we buy AMD products, but I suspect that will no
longer be true.  Buying products from a company so shaky that it has
to rely on comparatively free USENET to obtain software...

I used to wonder why Sun was still shipping its workstations with
(mostly) the trashy Intel ethernet chip, instead of the (seemingly)
much nicer AMD chip.  Now I think I understand.
