It has been pointed out to The Register that Terry Shannon, then at Shannon knows DEC, first used the word Chipzilla in a reference to Intel nearly a year back. We therefore wish to acknowledge his contribution, and also to say that from thenceforth, when we refer to Chipzilla, we really mean Gorgonzilla. Obviously it's a kind of cheese, obviously it stinks, and obviously, too, it's misspelt. Plus maybe Intel is a Gorgon. Someone pass us a plate please... ®
