Comment Re:Intel? (Score 1) 33

I was a PC tech for local computer shops back in the day. AMD processors came back too often with issues. Intel CPUs never did. Not to mention that stupid P rating AMD used back then. For example, they marketed the CPUs to end users as being 133MHz but the BIOS reports the true speed as 120MHz. Try explaining that to a customer that thinks you ripped them off. I used AMD in the 386 era (loved my AMD 386DX-40, my first DOOM machine) but the CPU failure issues among other things that came later made me personally avoid AMD after that.

I finally got through PC Magazine's DOS Power Tools that I purchased back in the early 90s (crazy thick book). Fantastic read, although a little outdated now. I also found this great series called Breaking Bad while sailing the high seas. As far as anything more "modern" ... nope, nothing seemed to interest me.
