an old macintosh programmer mutters over market sharea month ago, apple computers looked me in the eye and asked for our product to be mac first, mac only and i told them too late -- wasn't gonna happen today it was intel with that same question intel first. intel only me. me. me. and i told them we'll follow the money -- windows. mac. unix. and they gloated and laughed rubbing their hands telling me not to even bother with those other guys a decade ago it was intel who stumbled, almost swallowed by japan inc their chips not selling. but they were us engineers in the same bad tie and coat before the valley discovered birkenstocks. so we struggled to find ways to put their chips in our designs fought our managers to keep intel afloat and now they've become bad winners wearing the polished brass of their arrogance on their polo shirts. my loved ones are out there on the wrong side of the barbed wire fence, watching me drink coffee with intel. |
