Well, it took longer then expected, but it looks like someone at Intel finally realized that there was only
one way out of this mess. My question is, is Intel STILL producing buggy chips? Since there is no marking
on the chip, it will be impossible to tell the bugless from the buggy.

I taped it, but you didn't miss anything.

Now if I had a Mac AV, I could post it as a Quicktime Moovie!
(It would violate CNN's copyright, though. Perhaps CNN would
let someone convert it for their home page, though.)

In today's (December 20) CNN interview, Mr. Grove admitted the factory is

still making chips with the FDIV defect.

I'd love to see a transcript of this part of the interview. Did
anyone tape it?

Even when Intel tries to do the right thing, it still does the wrong
thing.

Andy Grove should resign.
