Jerry was sort of Hollywood? The hell is that supposed to mean? I thought at first it made him a good salesperson for whatever reason, I'm going to boldly remove it, but if anyone wants to put it back, sure. I just don't get it myself. Sameerkale 02:13, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Nice article, but its tone is very un-encyclopedic, which makes me suspect it's been lifted from somewhere. Anyone?

Agreed, it is quite the puff piece. It could stand to be trimmed by a Wiki sword --Hooperbloob 08:13, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Moved discussion appropriate text here from article proper

Just a note about objectivity: The above reads as if it were written by Jerry Sanders.

8/30/05: Nah. I wrote most of it. I worked for AMD for 13 years and I just admire the hell out of him.

Jerry surely had a hand in writing it, how else did you know about the beating he recieved?  The article was almost entirely to accurate for him not to have been involved.

I added a link to a profile/biography from sfgate.com, it references the beating in enough detail for a citation and can probably be used as a reference for much of the content here although the whole thing needs to be edited to encyclopedic type language. Also you can see what was meant by "hollywood" from the sections of that article titled A New Company, The Finer Things, and Big Gestures. Maracle 22:53, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
