Oof to Austin then

AMD'S SCOTTISH sales supremo, John Byrne, took some time today to bid a fond farewell to his beloved, adopted home - England.

byebyebyrne2

In a scene more touching than the last minutes of Braveheart (and with fewer naked bottoms), set in Leicester Square's All-Bar-One, the industry's key characters gathered around a drinks laden table for close to 12 hours to toast the man and the legend and give him a proper send-off.

Byrne is off to sunny Texas - lock, stock and Highland Whiskey Barrels - to plot the demise of Nvidia and Intel around AMD's Austin corporate water cooler.

INQ spies captured a shot of John calling time on his life in England - with the sun setting in the background ('cause we're artistic, innit). µ

He's a legend

Talk about a true Scot making a proper impression, if only the whole 'real' ati team made it through....

My Website Running 100% For 48 Hours....

Like Humans Do. Its Amlyase Gucolase Thing that wears off for Greater Adventure. See Mr. Bryne Has Friends. Semi Invisible, Yet well Grouped. Maybe NEEDS Glasses. Baby Acquariums.

Now on Michaels' Body Website, So Far, Used UP Entire Bandwidth for last 48 Hours. Thats 100 Hits Hour or about 5,000+ Viewers. Heres Catch. Once You've Got BODY, Its Strong Possibility That Murder Can be proved. Apparently, Many Agree.

Austin, Home of Barton Core. Loving Crawdads in Creek & New Housing Project From OLD AMD campus grounds. In TEXAS AnyBody CAN BE Physician. ANYBODY.

However, Being Retarded Is Executionable Offense. Learn reasonable Amount of Spanish. Be VERY ProAmerican & ProHispanic. AUSTIN Is Capitol os Republic of TEXAS, LONE STAR State. Figure outnew 40 nm Provider or Risk Extreme Discomfort.
