Raw deal!?  Oh come on, give me break!  You can say that after those bastards 
*raped* us end-users by price-gouging on '386 processors (Remember guys? 
Back when they had a f***ing monopoly)?

That was possibly the most blatant example of sheer greed as I have ever seen 
in this industry.  I am not so quick to forgive.  As far as I am concerned, 
Intel deserves every black eye and broken jaw that it gets.
