  Interesting that the 786 wasn't there, but I believe that you have to
have a use of the trademark within so many years of claimin it.

  One of the Intel vp's talked about the 786 (millenium 86) chip, and it
is said to have four integer CPUs, one vectorable FPU, 2MB cache, and
built in DVI. If someone saved the article you might quote it.
