Competition is needed within the industry, and I also want to see them
succeed, but they have to stand on their own by building a competitive
product. I just bought a Pentium 6850 and Asus motherboard. It's the
first non-AMD CPU I've purchased since the advent of the first
Athlon's.

If they build the product they should be building, they won't need
charity purchases.
