I guess that's right since it's not a discrete part, but damn it I got thrown for a loop reading that and thought it was a misprint for a second!  It'll take me some time to get used to this.

I just noticed your post is different than the press release I got Geo. Mine had Nicole Emanuel and Ruth Cotter of AMD listed as the contacts.
I sent Nicole a letter, her day just got a bit more surreal methinks.
