The first PC I built was in 1984, and no longer remember which CPU was used. |

Since the mid 90s I've only bought one Intel CPU (2002), and that because I'd |
| 21 |
been living in China only a month, couldn't speak the language, and the guy |
| 22 |
helping me who spoke a little Engrish reported the salesman said "AMD quit |
| 23 |
making CPUs". Being sorely in need of a server, I just bought it. |
