Your point would be??

Yanno, I'm beginning to agree with McGuire, and that disturbs me... Why 
is it that something has to be designed within the past month to be any 
good?  The AXP design is *still* way ahead of any of the total crap 
that Intel is producing.

Newer does not always mean better.  Luckily, most people seem to think 
that *is* the case, allowing me to get some fantastic kit at unreal 
prices. :-)
