Then I pasted an article from Forbes.com (http://www.forbes.com/home/free_forbes/2005/0905/054.html) and this bug window showed up (with all of the stuff outside the ========...)

Now my buffer containing my Java class looks like this:

Before Advanced Micro Devices filed its lawsuit against Intel in June alleging monumental amounts of bullying behavior, the perennially number two computer chip maker tried hard to get a big name in its corner to verify its claims publicly. AMD's indomitable leader, Hector Ruiz, worked the phones for days. But nobody accepted his invitation to moon the emperor.

That left AMD to beat its own drum as loudly as possible. The lawsuit itself was written for maximum effect, claiming that Intel intimidated Hewlett-Packard into refusing 840,000 free AMD microprocessors; that Toshiba used Intel rebates like "cocaine"; that Intel salesmen beat Gateway into "guacamole"; and that Intel put a "gun to the head" of then-Compaq chief executive Michael Capellas.

The litany of alleged abuse brought no corroborators out of the wings, even though the bullied big shots--HP's Carleton Fiorina, Compaq's Capellas and Gateway's Theodore Waitt--have little to lose from snitching. They're all gone from the industry. Intel won't comment on the complaint, filed in federal district court in Delaware, except to say that it hopes to fight in court, rather than in public.

AMD, which has litigated on and off with Intel for 20 years, says omert

"If you're a customer, why go out of your way to say something when you can be forced to say something in court," said Sangeeth Peruri, an analyst with J&W Seligman, which owns 10million shares of AMD and 2 million of Intel.

Court seems to be where this battle is headed, adding to what must be a big legal bill at Intel. In March it agreed to a ruling by Japan's fair trade commission to settle a dispute over anticompetitive sales practices. (Intel denies any unlawful conduct.) The European Union and the Korean Fair Trade Commission are now investigating Intel on similar charges. In July EUregulators raided Intel offices in Milan, Munich, London and Madrid. Since AMD sued, 61 me-too class actions have been filed in state and federal courts.

If AMD gets Intel to court, odds would still be long that a PC executive would stick his neck out on this one. With the exception of Dell, PC makers have 2% operating margins; Intel's are 40%. One missed shipment of Pentiums can kill an entire quarter for a wayward customer.

While AMDwould love to have some heavyweights visibly on its side--as Netscape had Sun and Apple during the Microsoft antitrust trial--it may have to settle for finding a pattern of documentary evidence while digging through the hard drives of an estimated 800 people at 37 companies, plus whatever Intel coughs up.

Says Diamond: "I'm hoping to find the guacamole e-mail."
